Process

This was a group of PayPal folks. The interviewers were pretty casual, and at the same time, knowledgeable. I could feel the passion in their pulse. Also, everybody looked very laid back and did not show stress on their faces, which was most important to me.

Questions

The manager had a couple of on-the-go questions. These were not typical questions, and he didn't really expect the correct answer but just wanted to know my thought process. From what I remember, one question was about how I would use quadratic equations to solve a daily problem. I don't remember the other one.
