Process
Most of the questions were based on my projects, the technologies I had made use of, and the challenges we faced. Few data structure questions were asked, based on trees and linked lists.
Most importantly, it was a very jovial interview, and I came to know only at the end that it was a technical and an HR interview bundled together.
Questions
- Print the mirror of a tree.
- Given a pointer to a random node in a list, delete that node.
- Find the kth smallest element from an infinite stream of numbers ranging from 1-n.
And a few database questions...

They promised me a raise and didn't deliver, three times
Software Developer • Former Employee
Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel
April 22, 2021
Pros: Good people, but that can be said about every company I worked for.
Cons: Bad management. They promised a raise and didn't deliver. Long work hours and overall bad treatment.
Also, in general, PayPal is a really rotten company. I got tired of seeing how we treat people like garbage online, with shop owners losing their livelihood because of PayPal. We almost always rule in favor of the scammers because it's easier for us.
PayPal is just a bad, negative place, and they don't pay enough.
