I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at eBay (San Jose, CA) in Dec 2016
Interview
I had to face 2 initial telephone screens, one by the hiring manager and the other by two team members, asking about current job experiences, few technical NLP questions (just intuitive explanations). Finally, they called me onsite.
