eBay interview questions

I went through several stages of eBay’s graduate recruitment process and unfortunately found the experience quite frustrating. I invested a significant amount of time preparing – including extensive research and writing a 20-page report tailored to the role. I also traveled to London at my own expense for part of the process, which was not fully reimbursed despite being told it would be. The final stage involved an in-person trial day. I even visited the office in advance to introduce myself and make a positive impression. During the session, I actively participated and shared ideas, yet the feedback I received claimed I hadn't contributed enough. It felt like my efforts weren’t properly acknowledged or valued. Overall, the process lacked transparency and consideration for candidates' time and financial commitment. I left feeling disappointed and that my effort had gone to waste.

The interview process was pretty straightforward. I didn't have a screening call. We scheduled a first technical interview. The interview was probably one of the most uncomfortable I've ever had. I don't want to say anything bad about the interviewer, but I asked twice "is he there" during the interview, because despite my attempts to maintain some kind of dialogue while I was implementing the functionality, the interviewer simply remained silent. On the other hand, there were no "flood" questions. He said his name, I said my name, and he immediately suggested moving on to the task.
