The process took 1 day. I interviewed at eBay (San Jose, CA) in Nov 2009
Interview
The interviewing process was professional and every interviewer kept to their time slots. But the questions were not challenging and almost felt like it was an exercise, rather than trying to see what I could bring to the table. One interviewer tried to tell me that working there would be very tough and it was not like it used to be - almost like a warning to run. Later learned from a friend of a friend, that eBay had laid off a significant number of project mgrs (he was one of the laid off project mgrs) and they would be re-organized into a very different organization. It was positive to see that most of the management for project mgrs were women. This was my second interview process (the first one was in 2002), which also did no result in a job offer
The communication appeared unprofessional and unfocused, and it did not reflect the kind of environment where I would want to invest my time or expertise. the people there did not seem friendly
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at eBay (Londres, Inglaterra) in Apr 2025
Interview
The interview process was fairly straightforward. Initial call with a recruiter, followed by an interview with the hiring manager and then 3 additional hour interviews with leadership. There was definitely some confusion between the interview scheduler and one or two of the interviewers. No crazy curveball questions. Took a few weeks to hear back on the final answer and I had to follow up quite a few times asking for the decision which was frustrating.

The interview process consisted of 3 rounds: screening call with recruiter, interview with HM, and then another interview with the team's director. Total time from screening call to verbal offer was 2 weeks. Overall, it was a very streamlined and positive process.
