There was a technical interview with an engineer and then a 3 hour coding session where I was given an assignment to complete. After that I met with another engineer who asked more questions
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions involved data structures, algorithms and how to optimize those solutions. Questions were challenging, but the interviewers were fair and helpful.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at eBay (Toronto, ON) in May 2021
Interview
I applied via the company's career site and a recruiter reached out to me the next day to schedule a short HR call in which he asked about my experience with some tech stacks.
Next, a 1-hour phone interview was scheduled the week after. It involved questions about API design, REST/RPC concepts, and questions about my previous projects. The call ended with a medium LC question, which I solved using Coderpad.
A recruiter reached out the next day to say that they wanted to move forward with a virtual onsite. There were five rounds of 1 hour each:
- 1st: one medium LC question + technical deep-dive into some frameworks.
- 2nd: one easy LC question + API design + some high-level system design questions + questions about cache, SSL
- 3rd: behavioral + career goals
- 4th: high-level system design of marketplace system + one easy LC question.
- 5th: questions about REST concepts and OOP concepts + one medium LC question.
Overall, I think the coding questions were doable if you practice enough. The design questions were also straightforward with enough prep work/experience. The technical framework deep-dive was the most difficult as it involves the theory behind some of the technology I used in day-2-day work but barely explored them enough.
I heard back from the recruiter about 1 week later that an offer is coming.
