I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at eBay (Campbell, CA) in Apr 2016
Interview
I was referred through an employee. Process went relatively quickly compared to other employers.
The hiring Director was well-prepared, asked great questions, and was attentive to my answers. Other members of the interview team were generally less so. A few were well-prepared, others were not. One flatly stated she had not read my resume and didn't know the responsibilities of the position I was interviewing for.
It seems like a fun place to work, and people like their job mostly.

Question 1
The analytics team members asked data-oriented case study questions. The senior interviewers asked me to describe how specific experience on my resume would serve the job.
No questions from the standard behavioral interview book.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at eBay (San Jose, CA) in May 2016
Interview
Standard process: Screening questions followed by Technical Phone Screen (Collabedit) followed by onsite interviews (5 interviews, 1 hour each).
All the interviewers were very polite and helpful. Questions are intended not to stump a candidate but to actually access the skills. I faltered on some implementations due to lack of coding preparedness (without an IDE - on whiteboard) and that may have cost me the position. Adequate coding practice and understanding of important concepts in JavaScript (Closure, Hoisting, etc.) can go a long way in helping crack onsite interviews. Although eBay did not make an offer, the overall experience was very good.

I applied online. I interviewed at eBay (Draper, UT)
Interview
Series of 3 interviews. First round was with 2 Managers in the department that were already doing the job. Second round was with a Senior Manager and a Manager in the department. Third round was with the Director and a Manager in the department. I was offered after the 3rd interview. The line of questioning is always situational and they're looking for "S.T.A.R" responses with an emphasis on the R or results.
