Software Development EngineerAt Paypal, Shanghai Interview Experience
Process
eBay and PayPal came to our university to hire interns. We were given a short written test, covering several simple technical questions and brain teasers. After one hour, we were asked to take several short interviews.
There were three technical rounds:
- The first was with an engineer.
- The second was with a project manager.
- The third was with a group manager.
Nothing special; there was no code writing. They just asked some basic questions about OS, databases, networks, and a few things about my CV. After one month, I got the offer.
