I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PayPal (Chennai) in Jun 2012
Interview
Directly from paypal an HR manager called me, to have an telephonic interview. So we planned for an telephonic screening. After a week I got my first telephonic screening. The interviewer asked me C++ questions, some design patterns and asked some design questions. Interview went very well. So HR called me and asked me that she will schedule another telephonic interview. After a week they called me that they will be directly calling me to chennai, no more telephonic interviews. So I had 4 technical rounds, plus one HR round.
