      Software Engineer II Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PayPal (Austin, TX) in Mar 2022

      Interview

      They will totally screw you over! The interview process was normal, over the course of a week. Then I got a job offer within a day or two. I took a week to think about it and then over the next three weeks waited for them to get me the offer paperwork. Every day or two I would call for updates, just thinking it was because my recruiter had literally started that month. Then after the near month of stringing me along, they called to tell me they changed their mind!! The hiring manager was instead going to take an internal hire, so they were rescinding my job offer!!! I was completely disgusted by the unprofessionalism. If they didn’t want me, they should have told me or simply waited until they knew for sure. Instead they strung me along for weeks lying to my face, while they were obviously just interviewing someone else. I was so upset, especially since I am moving and needed the job and had literally stopped looking for other opportunities. If you apply, be ready for them to screw you over. Even if you get it, I doubt they’re someone you want to work for.

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at PayPal

      Interview

      Long process but very communicative throughout. Started with initial phone screen and then three more technical interviews. I found the interviews enjoyable and the questions to be well thought out. The recruiter and hiring managers were proactive in answering additional questions along the way and everything felt very transparent.
