The recruiter informed me that there would be a one-hour screening round before progressing to five additional one-hour rounds.
The interviewer arrived nearly ten minutes late and spent the first twenty minutes reviewing my recent architectural contributions on a virtual whiteboard.
With thirty minutes left, they shifted to coding, which was more complex than expected, involving a lengthy object-oriented code task that typically requires over an hour to solve.
Poor time management and structure were evident. I only learned in the final minutes that they’d assigned the wrong interviewer for my level.
Additionally, despite encouraging an expedited interview, they initially scheduled me and then rescheduled to a later slot, reflecting unprofessional planning on eBay’s and/or the recruiter's part.
