I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at eBay (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2014
Interview
The process was pretty straightforward. I applied online at their website and got a call from the recruiter Peter O' Neil in a couple of weeks. An interview was scheduled for 1 hr over the phone. Initially I was asked a bunch of knowledge-based qs related to arrays,hash tables,REST,JSon,Relational Databases etc.

Question 1
I was given a class definition and function signature in Java and I had to define the function. I was told that we know how to read characters from a stream of input characters and my function had to return a line of characters from the input stream. Had to handle the corresponding errors.
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.

Question 1
Leet code medium question and follow up questions about data structure
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.
