Software Developer Interview

Anonymous employee

Accepted offer

Positive experience

Average interview

Application

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PayPal (Singapur) in Jul 2021

Interview

Applied through a job portal, someone from PayPal’s HR side contacted me. The entire process is well-established and friendly with professional PayPal-themed pdfs and many useful tips and peeks into the culture and processes. The tech and manager interviews also went smoothly. One of the more pleasant and enjoyable interview experience so far.
