I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PayPal in Jan 2025
Interview
The recruiter reached out to me and told me they use Karat for the screening, and honestly, I have never liked Karat. But I went through the interview: the first 20 minutes were five system design questions where you just have to speak. The last 30 minutes were for a coding question. I solved it, ran all the test cases successfully, and passed optimally.
However, the recruiter reached out to me and told me they will not be moving forward! I am really surprised. I believe this was probably the best tech screening I went through.

Interview
I had a technical-screening interview that lasted an hour. The interview was conducted by Karat. The problem was fairly easy, but I didn't complete the code in the allotted time. Nevertheless, the interview experience was excellent. The interviewer was professional, knowledgeable, helpful, pleasant, and genuinely interested in determining my coding abilities.

Question 1
I won't go into details about the questions, but there were several systems design questions that took up about a half hour and one medium-difficulty coding problem that took up the rest of the interview.
