Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California

October 1, 2020
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Keep PayPal as your last option. One interviewer at the MTL level switched off the camera while I was working on my program. She doesn't have a basic understanding of Big O complexity and clearly doesn't have any idea of the architecture or design regarding the project. Keep looking for other companies in the Bay Area and join PayPal if it's your last option, because you are not going to learn anything.

Questions

NDA. Mostly medium LeetCode and repeated questions posted on Glassdoor.
