Interview
The HR has approached me via LinkedIn and asked me to send my resume. Then, I have been called for a face to face interview.
They conducted 3 rounds, out of those 2 were technical discussions and 1 was Manager round.
The interview process was smooth, but the problem is their approach post-interview. The HR said I have been shortlisted and have to attend one more round and the it will happen via phone since the interviewers from US.
That's it. They never responded me back. And I have been calling every Monday and the same HR is keep on telling that she will schedule in the coming weeks. Now it's been more than a month / 6 weeks, still I didn't get any proper response. That too, I have asked, is there any problem with my hiring. The HR will tell me there is no problem at all and will let me know once she's scheduled the call.
I just want to request, don't give false hope to the attendees. Just tell them straight if they are hired or not, instead of dragging them and making them wait for your reply.
I applied online. I interviewed at PayPal (Singapur) in Mar 2017
Interview
I applied online. Got a telephonic interview for first round. He asked one simple design question, one simple sql question, one simple algorithm question. I can answer all of them. Got F2F interview with other team members.
There problem starts .. F2F interview is horrible. The interviewer asked software development related questions. I answered. The problem is not in my answer. He is trying to point out all the terminology mistakes. For example,when he asked about unit-testing. I explained the point of using unit testing and the way we used in projects. Instead of trying to get to the logical point, he end up with my usage of words 'function' instead of ''method'. He immediately say it is wrong to use 'function' in java because java don't have function. I was pissed off. Yes you are right java don't have function keyword, but that is not the point I am explaining to you right now. I am telling about unit testing. Then went on to the service testing parts, I says ' when unit test is run, we load embedded database and run the integrated testing of our services against that db'. He asked 'How do you load the database? Are you physically loading or configuring to load when jUnit run?' OMG, of course, who the hell can load the database physically? That is just the overall way he asked in interview. You can not explain anything to him because he is not trying to listen your answer, he is trying to find out any single mistake you made even if this is about terminology. This interview completely wasted my time and effort.
Be awared of this interviewers !!!
