I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PayPal (Austin, TX) in Nov 2022
Interview
Applied online, recruiter quickly got back to me. and set up a basic standard HR stuff interview. The following week got contacted again and had an interview set up with the hiring manager. Interview with the hiring manager revealed that the role is more of a glorified data analyst as most technical questions were centered around SQL and KPI definitions around risk practice. After the interview the recruiter reached out and confirmed that I can proceed to the next round. The next round would be a take -home analytical exercise, Excel based. Well, I am a Certified AWS Solutions Architect with 10+ years of Python experience, and these requests raised the red flag. I looked at the exercise and concluded I don't want to waste at least 10 hours of my time on something which would not lead to a role utilizing my strengths. I excused myself out of the hiring process.

It was an easy interview. I applied via company website and got test within a week. It was basic SQL test. I had experience with postgreSQL syntax so it was a bit tough for me as i took some time to figure out mysql version of it. Overall it was a simple test.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at PayPal (Bengaluru) in May 2022
Interview
There are dumb Hrs at Paypal , they will say all the process will be completed in a day .
I had 3 rounds in a day , all technical , and received positive feedback from each one of them ( both interviews and hr ) , when it was supposed to be the last round , then they informed the director in israel having different timings , he will contact in monday for the offer discussion .then they asked will join on a hike of 15%-20% from your current fixed component , which is like a joke as more than this your current org will offer you to hold you . and as expected i have thrashed them as they should have informed this earlier without wasting time .
