eBay interview questions

Good talented engineers stay out of Bellevue office ! Very bad experience because of following reasons: 1. Irresponsible recruiter - okay i should not blame the company because of one person. He sent wrong emails and had to send multiple emails for follow up 2. Interviewers who take phone calls during whiteboard session- no professionalism 3. very specific question from java to explain a library - i never got asked from my prior experience or got tested for problem solving skills 4. No room booked for onsite interview and one interviewer joking said that you will see lot of similar problems if you join here in future and actual work you do is less. 5. Lunch interview was fine. Interviewer was smart. But he asked me if i wanted to smoke. He smoked cigarettes asking me questions after we went to a burger place nearby. 6. Another interviewer was totally unprepared. He was asking life questions. i take lot of interviews myself. So i can certainly say they were not behavioral questions. 7. Two interviewers(one lunch interviewer and another bar riser) were very smart and asked good questions. Rest were poor interviews and did not test my skills. Questions were not related to job descriptions or my experience 8. Finally, they never reimbursed my interview expenses after multiple followup emails. I could get a sense of work culture, coworkers and what everyday looks like. I am not sure about other offices but Bellevue office looked like a bad place to work. I had other better offers and chose them.

Applied online, recruiter emailed me to arrange a phone screening. Phone screening was short just wanted to know why ebay and why now. Phone screening recruiter contacted another recruiter who arranged a phone call with the hiring manager and then an onsite interview with hiring manager and team. Met individually with each member and at the end with hiring manager.
