I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PayPal (San Jose, CA) in May 2020
Interview
Spoke with the hiring manager, that went well apparently. Typical discussion around what you've worked on etc.
Then moved on to a virtual technical interview.. Select a DOM element, add classes and remove classes for that DOM element. Create functions to do this and then consolidate and build an object to handle the implementation. Odd test, but whatever.. then radio silence.
I have no problem with interviewing, but if I'm spending my time to go through the interview process at a minimum I expect a response back with yes or no. I shouldn't have to chase the recruiter to find the answer.

Question 1
Create a jQuery implementation of adding and removing classes to a DOM element.
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.
