I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at PayPal in Jan 2008
Interview
The position was at a branch office but the interview was done in headquarter. Interviewed with five or six people including developers and managers. Questions included brain teasers, technical questions (data structures, code efficiency), and general questions. I feel they wanted to test interviewee's ability of problem solving. They also asked you to write down code and explain its logic. Interviewers were nice and friendly.
