Was contacted by their recruiter about a software engineer position and was given a hacker rank assessment which consist of 2 questions to complete within a 90 minute time limit. I took the assessment a few days after being contacted and passed both questions, with all test cases passing and with more than enough time leftover.
Almost immediately after passing the assessment, I was contacted by the recruiter saying that I did very well on it and that I would move on to the final virtual onsite. I would be assigned to a different recruiter and that I was to first talk to this new recruiter first for 15 minutes to prep for the final interviews. Was also told i should provide them with a few time slot for this prep call and that I would be in good hands with the new recruiter.
Well I contacted the new recruiter and cc the previous recruiter on giving my various time slots for this prep call. But there was no reply from either recruiter and after a week went by, I contacted both again about setting a good time for the call. Again, no reply from either recruiters.
At this point, pretty much feel they ghosted me. After reading some of the reviews here, seems like a pretty common practice for paypal to do to interviewees where you think you are going through the interview process normally but all of a sudden, paypal will drop you for no reasons.
This is pretty unprofessional and wasted a lot of my time with doing the online assessment and it seems like even if you pass the assessment, they will then ghost you. I don't understand how any company can conduct their hiring like this, it's just beyond bad. They treat people like they're expendable and don't respect their time at all.

Interview
Hackerrank had 1 leetcode medium and 2 hard to be finished in 1 hour! Recruiter had no idea there was a time limit and I never heard from them again. No wonder the position is open so long, they filter out everyone until they find the person that memorized the answers

Easy, quick. simple questions regarding standard data processing tasks. It wasn't bad, I was able to complete it with ease and got moved to the final round. Everyone is super nice and professional.
