The initial interview was a 45 minute phone screen by hiring manager. A week later, a Human Resource associate coordinated a full day on campus interview for the following week. The on campus interview consisted of six 45 minute interviews with team members and business partners at different levels. Lunch with more junior team members was part of the agenda.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PayPal (San Jose, CA) in Feb 2013
Interview
Was contacted for this particularly role a month or so after applying. Received an email from the HR recruiter to schedule a phone interview. Although I replied with my availability for the upcoming week HR didn't respond. Followed up with a phone call and HR called back and left a message. Called again to set a time and HR missed the appointment. Rescheduled and we finally spoke for a few minutes where HR rushed off the phone.... Literally a couple minutes into the conversation HR stated that there are a few internal candidates in line for the role and that she wished me luck in my search...
