The process included one Karat round and four virtual onsite rounds. The recruiter described the onsite as one behavioral, one DSA, one system design, and one role specialization. However, it was two system design, one mixed role specialization/DSA, and one behavioral.

Some interviewers seemed unprepared and offered minimal feedback. The mixed round shifted unexpectedly from a React app to a DSA problem, feeling disorganized.

Despite completing all tasks confidently, I was rejected a week later without feedback, and received no response from the recruiter. My advice to PayPal: clearer communication and constructive feedback would show respect for candidates' preparation efforts.
