I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at eBay (Toronto, ON) in Apr 2026
Interview
Interview process was generally organized, but one system design round felt poorly defined. The interviewer struggled to clearly communicate requirements and could not answer basic clarification questions about expected functionality/scope. About 20 minutes into the discussion, the direction changed significantly, which made it difficult to understand what was actually being evaluated.
Other rounds/interviewers were professional, but this particular interview could have benefited from clearer problem framing and better alignment on expectations.
Other Senior IOS Engineer Interview Reviews for eBay
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at eBay (San Jose, CA) in Oct 2025
Interview
First round was HM, general discussion around past projects and experience. Second round was basic iOS debugging and coding. For onsite it was 4 round architecture(no leetcode given sample code was asked to fix errors) , system design(this was generic not iOS specific), ios fundamentals (was asked to implement/fix couple functions in pre-written playground and also was asked to build a simple UI, I bombed it badly, got nervous and it was too much to complete within an hr but good thing was allowed to look up function/implementation in stack overflow or Apple docs) and behaviour. The interview itself was not too hard but they asked basic stuff and I bombed the interview. Tip: Practice basic stuff like concurrency, retain cycles and you should be able to crack it.
