I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at eBay (San Jose, CA) in Jun 2013
Interview
My initial communications was with an outside agency that set me up with this interview.
Once they had reviewed my interview and decided to move forward they set up an interview with in 4 days of my original notification of the job availability. The interview process was very informal and the structure was very laid back and more conversational than Q & A. This also goes for my 2nd interview that was scheduled about 3 days after my first interview.

Question 1
Instead of asking questions they turned the interview into a very easy conversation where they imposed the interview question within the conversation which help bring about a more natural response.
