I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at eBay (San Jose, CA) in Aug 2022
Interview
It was a really great experience overall. The recruiter, Carol Zepeda, is the best! It was such a pleasure working with her. It was the first time I had such a great experience with a recruiter. She was polite, respectful, friendly, transparent and communicated regularly. The hiring manager could have provided some more feedback but otherwise the whole process was very smooth and stress- free.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They weren’t the typical big tech PM interview questions related to estimation, product design, analytics per se. It was more around my skill set as a PM and what are some of the processes I have followed, what worked and what didn’t. Example: what’s the best way for PM and UX to collaborate; what kind of data would you like to have to be able to design a product for a customer.

I applied online. I interviewed at eBay in Jan 2021
Interview
Applied to a few roles on Ebay's career website, received a response to provide time the following week with a hiring manager.
I provided available times and asked which role ID the hiring manager chat was about. I received a scheduling invite but never heard back about which role until I talked with the hiring manager.
Hiring manager joined the zoom call but never bothered to turn her video on. Interviewer had me jump straight into my background and case questions. Interviewer kept asking "anything else?" during my answers to case questions and otherwise seemed totally disinterested in the interview.
