      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at PayPal (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in June 2025

      Interview

      I interviewed for a Decision Scientist role back in June 25. The process started with an onsite interview in Tel Aviv with two team members, May and Matan I think , who were both kind and challenged me with thoughtful questions around fraud scenarios. The second stage was a home assignment with a dataset. It wasn’t overly complex but required real effort , it took me about 5 hours. A week later, I was invited to present my work to May and Avital (the group manager). That session went well: it was a constructive debate, and I felt confident and comfortable. After that, I had a short followup Zoom call with Nadav (Director) , which was also positive. And then… complete silence!. For over a month, I followed up multiple times with HR, only to be completely ignored. Eventually, after all the time and effort I had invested, I received nothing but a generic rejection email. I’ve been through many interview processes, but this was one of the most unprofessional and disrespectful experiences I’ve had: no feedback, no acknowledgment of the effort, and a total lack of communication now 11/9 and still no feedback
