I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PayPal (San Jose, CA) in Apr 2012
Interview
Met at career fair. Phone interview, then a 4 round on-site interview. Pretty standard interviews. Position and team were not known until interview day. Interviewers split questions 50/50 between soft skills and technical skills. Was a little exhausting without food break in the middle. Overall, interview experience was smooth and very professional.

Question 1
Asked in-depth question about hash-map data structure
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.
