Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience

February 10, 2024

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I interviewed at PayPal (San Jose, CA) via video interview.

Hackerrank - behavioral interview - rejection.

I suspect the interviewer actually didn't read my resume. While the interviewer himself was fine/good, their recruiting process is a little unorganized.
