I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at eBay in Mar 2015
Interview
45 minutes phone interview with hiring manager. Went through background, had two cases, one analytical discussion and one SQL question. The first case question was how to define success for a recommendation system. The business case was how to decide a) whether should the company launch certain function in the APP in certain country and b) how to define success.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at eBay (Bengaluru) in Mar 2012
Interview
- Telephonic interview
- 1:1
- Rude interviewer
- Did not even introduce himself properly
- Overall felt that he was a nuisance and did not really like working at ebay
- Type of questions asked during the interview sort of suggested that the interview was totally unstructured
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
- Asked very random questions e.g., how do you estimate the safe distance from shore given that there could be a tsunami? No data, no historical references, but provide an answer using math
