Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience - Austin, Texas

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I see the same reviews on Blind and Glassdoor about PayPal/Venmo: they interview candidates and never offer.

These people just waste your time. I applied with a referral and got an interview.

They rushed the panel interview with not much time. There were 4 rounds, 1 hour each:

  • 3 coding rounds
  • 1 system design

I executed all code well within the time limit and in a fully efficient way. They came back telling me I was not selected.

These people don't even provide exact feedback. They wasted my time and energy. I see the same reviews on Blind and Glassdoor about PayPal/Venmo; they just play around.

Questions

  1. String manipulation

  2. Box management: Small boxes can be filled into medium and large boxes. Medium boxes can be filled into large boxes. Large boxes can be filled into large boxes.

  3. Pair programming: Person A sending money to Person B.
