Lead Software Engineer Interview Experience - Chennai, India
Process
It was good, but not very relevant to the job. It was more of a DS and Algo problem-solving focus. You require strong hands-on skills to crack a PayPal interview. It's better to solve some LeetCode PayPal interview questions before giving it a try.
Questions
The first round was to solve a board game, more of a 2D matrix water flow problem. Adding a coin in any cell converted the adjacent cells. The ask was to find the maximum number of cells that could be converted and the best positions to place the coins.
