Applied through a referral. The interview arrangements worked pretty fast as PayPal recruiters were responsible for the total process.
1) Phone screening by recruiter
2) Call with the hiring manager
3) In-person interview
I believe, overall it was an efficient process but I think the team or the hiring manager were not exactly sure about what they were looking for at the candidate. The position was related to fraud detection but I believe they chose me because of my analytical capabilities in the phone round.
In the office, I interviewed with 5 different people, all different level of positions. It was a friendly environment.
The worst thing about the total process was about the accommodation arrangements. They made me stay at a very expensive hotel near the office but when I arrived I realized that it was not paid in advance. So I paid around $500 for a night and submit the reimbursement form afterward. It took more than 4 months for them to process the check so I was nearly hopeless about it but I finally received the check after a lot of follow ups.
