Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interview was good.

First, I told the interviewer about my project and framework.

They asked me two technical and two coding questions.

The coding questions were from Java and Selenium. The technical question was about APIs.

Questions

One of the questions was from Java. It asked to write code that would count duplicate numbers. Another question involved Selenium, requiring code to find a word starting with 'C' from a list of elements.

eBay Work Experiences

Great people, confused management

Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) • Former Employee

Bellevue, Washington, United States

Pros: Every single person I met was fun to talk to and a productive worker.

Cons: Management didn't notice a confused task title; a "short task" was actually months of fixing older code. They didn't notice, but did end my contract. I will be more verbal about it if this ever happens again.

Toxic manager and full-time employee

Pros: Nothing to bring as Pros

Cons: The manager was a liar. He made promises to convert contractors to full-time employees. He gave promotions to people who did not deserve them because they were from one country. The full-time employees did not treat contractors well. Only a few people received bonuses and promotions. It was a very toxic team.
