I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at PayPal (Bengaluru) in June 2021
Interview
The HR person contacted me and informed me about the interview process, the first round was going to be a Design round with a manager. The interviewer came in a little late, but thoroughly apologized for it, we had a great discussion, a whiteboard would have really helped.
It seemed like all was going well, the interviewer then gave his feedback, which seemed positive, and then explained about further rounds. I was expecting a callback from HR, and didn't get one for a week, tried emailing and calling them because I felt that I really hit it off with the manager, they completely ghosted me.
