I applied online. I interviewed at PayPal (Paris) in Jan 2018
Interview
Round 1: Paypal visited our campus in September for placement-test. A online test was conducted on hackerrank platform. The criteria to sit in this test was a cgpa above 7.5 ( all branches). The test included 11 MCQ ( in java) and 1 coding question. The time was 1:30 hrs for this test.MCQ were on oops concept ( code in Java was given, you need to tell output). coding question was on bitmasking dp.
coding question :- there is a class and n students in that class . all students are going to stand in row. now each student i has some internal energy k with any student j where 1<=i<=n, 1<=j<=n, i !=j, n<=10, you need to tell in what order the student should stand to minimize the internal energy of whole class.
Round 2:
12 students were selected for further interview rounds in December. In first round after little chit chat about paypal, he asked me one coding question which was
coding question : -There is river with width x and there are some stones placed across the river. You are given the position of each stone. Now you started from one of the banks and you can have three types of jumps ( last_jump -1, last_jump, last_jump+1) ( at start last_jump = 0). You need to tell whether you can cross the river or not. Ans:- (simple recursion approach and then convert it to dp) .
I had a recruiter call and they said they would send me a link to a Karat interview round in a week but I never received it. I mailed the recruiter multiple times but got no response or communication about it

I interviewed 2 round, one front end, one hire manager, but didn’t move forward. The hr is helpful, the hire manager round asked about system design questions, which I feel may cause the rejection.
