I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at eBay (San Jose, CA)
Interview
Overall a very good experience. Very traditional process. Recruiter reached out, scheduled initial conversations, then phone screens and onsite. Received and accepted offer after negotiations. Waited for H1 transfer and joined.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Signed NDA so cannot do it. Practice general coding problems and some system design conversations. Youtube is an excellent source for system design.
The interview process started with a 30-minute recruiter screening, which focused on my background, experience, and interest in the role. The recruiter also provided an overview of the team and position.
The next round was a 1-hour technical interview. I was asked to design and implement a Spring Boot application for an e-commerce website. The discussion covered REST API design, entity modeling, service and repository layers, application architecture, and coding best practices. The interviewer also asked follow-up questions about scalability, error handling, and design decisions made during the implementation.
Overall, the interview was technical and practical, focusing on real-world backend development skills using Spring Boot.

Question 1
Leet code medium question and follow up questions about data structure
There were five rounds in the process: an initial recruiter call, a first manager call, followed by three technical rounds in a loop.
In the first round, they assessed whether my background aligned with the role requirements. During the manager call, I was expecting a coding round, but instead, they asked three situational questions. After that, I received a rejection.
