I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at eBay (Ámsterdam) in Apr 2024
Interview
First call to describe the role and some technical questions about the past projects
Second call, coding interview where you're left alone and when you have questions nobody is looking at you or hearing you out, weird.
Third call: System design interview, there were a lot of questions and replies and it was interesting.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Past projects
Python iterators
Design a data pipeline
There was recruiter round (for 15 minutes). Recruiter had 3 questions written in a document that he read out from a doc. I did well but it was a mechanical process which was not like a conversation but more of
a Q&A round. Can be improved.
The recruiter contacted via WhatsApp, which felt a bit uncomfortable, but everyone was nice. Random algorithm questions were part of the interview process. You could say they are probably magicians as their side hustle.
