eBay interview questions

Interview process was generally organized, but one system design round felt poorly defined. The interviewer struggled to clearly communicate requirements and could not answer basic clarification questions about expected functionality/scope. About 20 minutes into the discussion, the direction changed significantly, which made it difficult to understand what was actually being evaluated. Other rounds/interviewers were professional, but this particular interview could have benefited from clearer problem framing and better alignment on expectations.

The interview process included an initial recruiter screening, followed by a hiring manager round, and then a final panel consisting of 4 individual loop interviews (45 minutes each). The interviews focused on SQL, business case scenarios, analytics, marketplace problem-solving, and behavioral questions related to cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder management.
