I applied online. I interviewed at eBay (San Jose, CA)
Interview
Interview Process was extremely mess and lacked clarity. Most of the time the recruiters & schedulers were OOO and quite sluggish in their response. Interview got rescheduled couple of times and then an internal recruitment was made.
Extremely unprofessional and annoying to be wasting a candidate's time. eBay - Sorry, your hiring process let you down. You lost your credibility!
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at eBay (San Jose, CA) in Feb 2017
Interview
The recruiter contacted me with the job, had a quick call with the recruiter to understand my background.
Phone screen - which was purely technical - questions around CSS specificity and to create a progress bar with multiple colors.
Got a call for the onsite interview at their San Jose office - HAD THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!.
There were 5 guys to interview me.
1) Someone from the same team I was interviewing for - very knowledgeable and purely 100% technical and whiteboard coding.Very good experience
2) A senior guy from a different team - tested on design principles and basic good practices.
3)Manager for the team I was interviewing - took me out for lunch, but was not engaging and seemed to me that he was least interested to know me.I was talking to him all the time
4)A senior guy who gave me a question and was in his own world sending emails or doing something - least interested in knowing what I did.
5) The last person also who was very senior - it was 100% coding on the white board, we had an open discussion about various SPA architecture. He was very knowledgeable and had a great experience.
6) I got an automated rejection email while I was interviewing with the last person - THAT WAS CRAZY!!
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at eBay (Ámsterdam) in Feb 2017
Interview
The impression I got after 5 rounds of interviews is that they're very disorganized, employees do things because they're told to not because they know why. Very unprofessional interview process throughout.
