I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at eBay (Redmond, WA) in Aug 2012
Interview
A former department director called and went over my resume. In fact he didn't ask too many questions, but I got a chance to better understand how this team will work together.
This was a phone screening. I am waiting for further instruction of on-site interview day.
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at eBay
Interview
I got the interview 2 mouths after I sent my resume. It was a one-hour long phone interview. The engineer asked me some simple programming questions like how to free heap memory. Then he asked me about my basic skills based on my resume. Finally he asked me what kind of project i was interested in. The interview was comfortable. But I got no reply at all, even after I sent the recruiter to ask about the result.
Got a call from recruiter and she setup 2 PS back to back .
The first interviewer was polite and would give time to think . he was sensible and patient .whereas the second interviewer who was member of technical staff was extremely rude and arrogant and looked to be in a hurry as it was friday eve 5.00 pm . she kept interrupting even when i said give me a minute to think. very bad style of interviewing people . she kept 15 mins for me to ask questions to her in 45 mins of interview process and gave me only 30 mins to answer two big data structure questions in which she did 15 mins of talking explaining questions .
i work for amazon so no way was going to settle with arrogant ppl.
