I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at eBay (San Jose, CA) in Dec 2011
Interview
Got a referral interview from a friend. Had a phone interview. Phone interview was very tough and a lot of java questions. there wasnt any response after that. I waited for almost 10 days and then mailed the person who interviewed me about response. In few minutes i got a response from hr to schedule a onsite interview. There was 5 people whom i met with in ebay office. Interview went positive and the team was excellent. Even before i reached home i got a email from hr that interview was positive and would give me a call on the following week day. There wasnt any call at all. Then a third party company mailed me to fill out application for background check. I did fill in application and they asked me some documents which i sent them. They told me my report will be sent in another 3-4 business days. I waited for almost 2 weeks and mailed hr if there is any updates. He told there is some kind of internal issues going on and he will get back to me on the following week. This has happened 3 weeks before and i haven't got any updates. I also mailed him last week to get updates but no response. So i am gonna accept offer from another company. good bye eBay!
The interview process started with a 30-minute recruiter screening, which focused on my background, experience, and interest in the role. The recruiter also provided an overview of the team and position.
The next round was a 1-hour technical interview. I was asked to design and implement a Spring Boot application for an e-commerce website. The discussion covered REST API design, entity modeling, service and repository layers, application architecture, and coding best practices. The interviewer also asked follow-up questions about scalability, error handling, and design decisions made during the implementation.
Overall, the interview was technical and practical, focusing on real-world backend development skills using Spring Boot.

There were five rounds in the process: an initial recruiter call, a first manager call, followed by three technical rounds in a loop.
In the first round, they assessed whether my background aligned with the role requirements. During the manager call, I was expecting a coding round, but instead, they asked three situational questions. After that, I received a rejection.
