Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The first stage was a HackerRank assessment with three questions: one DSA, one Node.js, and the third is forgotten.

The second stage involved a recruiter who asked some basic questions. Following this, there was silence, and no further communication was received. After following up, a rejection email arrived two months later.

Questions

Q. Tell me a little bit about your most recent experience.

Q. What is it about PayPal that interested you?

Q. Where are you currently located?

Q. Are you actively interviewing with other companies?

Q. What are some of the areas of interest for you where you want to either explore something new that you've never done before, or you want to explore something like, I know this, but I want to know more of this?
