      SWE Intern Interview

      22 Dec 2025
      Anonymous employee
      San Jose, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at PayPal (San Jose, CA) in Oct 2025

      Interview

      1 phone interview, 2 technical interview (varies per team), and one recruiter call (received offer). It was pretty streamlined. One of the technical interview leaned more toward system design, so I didn't receive a live-coding style question for that particular round
