eBay interview questions

I was referred the position by a friend who found it on an alumni board. I emailed the recruiter with my resume. The recruiter never replied, but forwarded my info onto another recruiter, who scheduled a 10 min phone chat. That was extremely basic and she passed along my info again, and within about a week another recruiter set up a call with the hiring manager (30 min). This call went well, and then I heard nothing for 2 weeks. Then I got an automated message from the brassring alias that I was invited onsite to interview, with some documents to fill out. This was followed by an email from the original recruiter who asked my availability, and then yet another different recruiter scheduled the onsite. It was 5x45 mins with various Strategy people. They all had consulting backgrounds but did a good mix of interview style. 3 of them did case questions, which were eBay specific. The person I would have reported to did a lunch interview with me last, and said I'd hear something within 4-5 days. After a week, I emailed the most recent recruiter I'd spoken to for an update and heard nothing. I pinged the recruiter again after another week, and she replied for me to contact *my recruiter* the original one who had barely communicated with me - so I emailed him. Again, heard nothing for another week and sent a follow up. After another week (at 4 weeks out) I pinged the other recruiter and she said she'd contact my recruiter. Over the weekend I didn't hear from the original recruiter, but got an automated message from brassring that I wasn't selected. Then the following Monday I got an afterthought email from the original recruiter that someone else was chosen. The onsite experience itself was just fine and my interviewers were great, but I'm rating this negatively because it just isn't polite or classy to ignore onsite candidates for a whole month and let an automated system reject them. Beyond that it seems like eBay's recruiting in general isn't very buttoned up.

First there was a phone screening. Later two rounds of Skype interview. First two interviews were based on data structures and the last one was a design round. Each of them lasted for over 45 minutes. Good experience overall.
