Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

There were 4 rounds of interviews: Past Experience, Behavioral, Coding, and System Design.

It was my best interview which I have ever had, and all interviewers were satisfied with my answers.

After one week, I sent an email to the recruiter to get feedback, but she immediately replied that the team did not select me.

Some big companies conduct interviews to support current employee green card sponsorships, so they need to prove to the US government that no one else fits this role except the current employee.

I hope PayPal doesn't respond to this review with a copy-paste of their prepared script.
