Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - Maldives
Process
Overall, the process was very smooth. I applied through PayPal's website and received an email back from a recruiter within a couple of weeks to schedule interviews.
The interview process consisted of back-to-back sessions: a 1-hour technical interview and a 30-minute behavioral interview.
The technical interview focused on JavaScript fundamentals, as the team was heavily front-end, and included a LeetCode easy question. The behavioral interview was standard and nothing out of the ordinary.
I received a response within the week confirming that I received the offer.
