The interview process was shorter than expected, I had an face-to-face interview which included some behavioral questions, a few high-level technical questions, and a coding question. The people at eBay framed it more as a conversation than an interview, which helped ease some of the tension.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What considerations do you make when designing an interface?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at eBay (San Jose, CA) in May 2016
Interview
Standard process: Screening questions followed by Technical Phone Screen (Collabedit) followed by onsite interviews (5 interviews, 1 hour each).
All the interviewers were very polite and helpful. Questions are intended not to stump a candidate but to actually access the skills. I faltered on some implementations due to lack of coding preparedness (without an IDE - on whiteboard) and that may have cost me the position. Adequate coding practice and understanding of important concepts in JavaScript (Closure, Hoisting, etc.) can go a long way in helping crack onsite interviews. Although eBay did not make an offer, the overall experience was very good.

Question 1
Questions related to sorting, inheritance, closures, event handling, html positioning and session storage, box model.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at eBay (San Jose, CA) in Apr 2016
Interview
Interview process was quick but Interviewer is not knowledgeable enough on the technicals. Interviewer does not even know how the basic javascript function work and zero knowledge on OOP concept and just started asking questions from some interview questions website.
