Not a good place anymore
Not a good place anymore
Good location, nice campus and facility.
Too many meetings - almost 50% of the day is spent in various meetings.
Different vertical teams are hard to communicate with, and the communication can be quite inefficient.
Politics are floating around everywhere.
Lots of re-orgs.
The space for career growth is not much.
I worked for PayPal for almost 6 years. Recently, lots of my former PayPal colleagues, including myself, left the company. The Bay Area is a place with a lot of opportunities for talented people. If the management doesn't care about the talented people you have, they will leave, sooner or later.

PayPal Interview Experiences
Software Engineer
There were two technical rounds. Each round involved about 1-2 medium LeetCode questions in Java, relevant to my job position. The questions focused on stacks/arrays and Object-Oriented Programming. It wasn't too hard if you're focused.
Software Engineer
There were 4 rounds of interviews, including various coding rounds and a behavioral round at the end. HackerRank and LeetCode questions were involved. It was pretty tough, so I spent about 4 hours in interviews.
Software Engineer
The first round was a 1-hour online Karat assessment. The first 15 minutes consisted of Java concepts-related questions. After that, two Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) questions were asked, with the second DSA question building upon the first.
