A PayPal employee submitted my resume. I received a phone call from a PayPal recruiter asking to schedule a phone interview with the hiring manager.
The hiring manager called for the phone interview, which lasted about 40 minutes. At the end of the phone interview, we both felt that we should move to the next step: an onsite interview.
The following week, I attended the onsite interview as scheduled. It lasted 5 hours.
The next day, a PayPal recruiter contacted me by email, stating they would love to discuss the next step with me. I spoke to the recruiter on the phone and was told they really wanted me to join PayPal, so we discussed compensation.
The next day, we began the background checking process. After three more business days, I received the official offer in a package. I signed the offer letter and mailed it back to PayPal HR.
My start date is the Monday two weeks later. They only allow new employees to start on Mondays.
Nothing too difficult.
