I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at eBay (Seattle, WA) in May 2025
Interview
The interview process was inconsistent and disappointing. The interviewer initially set clear constraints for the coding problem, but midway through, silently changed the expectations. I followed the instructions and completed what was asked, and the interviewer even acknowledged that the work was solid. However, I wasn’t given a chance to complete the final part, which would have taken just a few more minutes. Instead, the feedback mentioned lacking problem-solving ability — which was never reflected in how the interview was conducted. It felt like the outcome was predetermined, regardless of performance. The process was not transparent or fair.
