The people are definitely smart, smarter than the large company I used to work for before I got to PayPal. There is also an emphasis on agility and moving quickly to deliver projects.
Processes could use optimization. They seem clunky, not well documented, let alone made well known, and this tends to create confusion in the engineer ranks.
Fix the processes with light-weight, quick, but effective workflows.
The interview process is very standard. It consists of one phone screen, and if it goes well, they bring you in for an on-site interview. The on-site portion comprises 5 rounds, including lunch with the hiring manager. **Phone Screen** I scheduled
I had a technical screening interview with PayPal in San Jose, CA. The screening was a discussion around my current project. I had read reviews of PayPal on Glassdoor, and I found them to be true during my interview. PayPal is not on my list now.
I had three phone interviews, two of which were technical. Questions covered APIs, HTTP protocols, and more. This was a full-stack position, so all the questions pertained to that.
