First is a HR screening interview.
Following this is a home assignment which is binary classification task which was pretty easy.
Next is an on-site (technical) interview where you discuss past projects and review the home assignment.
Next is a case study interview.
Finally there is a senior manager interview.
After waiting weeks with no update (and no reply to my follow up email), I eventually received a rejection email — a fake generic reason with no valuable feedback, no phone call. For a company of PayPal’s size, this felt disrespectful to candidates who invest significant time and effort (also no reimbursement for travelling all the way to the on-site).
However, my major complaint is that some interviewers were quite unprofessional. During my (virtual) case study interview, both interviewers seemed disengaged, One in particular came off as extremely disinterested and rude from the start. He was wearing shorts in the office, and for most of the interview, he had his legs kicked up on the table and leaned back (hard to tell if he was even listening). It was a strange experience and I felt his behaviour was very unprofessional and I felt somewhat uncomfortable...
Average, the interviewer asked questions fro specific topics but the JD has too wide topics. Kind of not sticked to JD. One Should be ready with open mind and give the interview

Process was very well managed by the internal recruiter. Technical rounds of average difficulty and then final rounds with Israeli based managers were strangely confrontational - vague questions with no clarification or context. I would apply again to the company but avoid that particular team if possible.

Started with an introductory recruiter call, followed by a virtual technical interview. The interview consisted of behavioral and technical parts. Was asked about my motivation for applying to Paypal, previous internship experiences, and a leetcode-style question
