Negotiated to higher grade level

Negotiation Details – My advice is, find out what grade level you are offered the job at, and try to get one level higher if possible. Between 23-25 this may be possible, any higher I doubt you can.

Interview Details – I was a seller on eBay. eBay contacted me via email about joining them for their new investigations team. They asked for my phone number to call me. The phone interview lasted for about 20 minutes. They told me I would hear for sure the next day. They emailed the next day and said welcome to the team.

Interview Details – Applied online, and contacted by an HR in two weeks. The first phone interview was a background screen with a manager. Followed with a second-round Skype interview with four interviewers from four teams. Both behavioral and technical questions were asked. Ask a lot about Linux and Hadoop.

Interview Details – Amazing. I interviewed for Operations Engineering, and the interviewer was the nicest guy I have ever met. At the end of the interview, he asked me what my ideal job would be at eBay, and personally set me up with the Tools Engineering team. After that, it was a few good, challenging, but respectful interviews, and I was offered employment.

Negotiation Details – I didn't negotiate because the offer was so astronomically good as is, but I've heard of people that have successfully negotiated easily.

Interview Details – Initial contact from ebay recruiter based on linkedin profile, set up initial get to know you call that was short and sweet. Arranged for an initial face 2 face with hiring manager which was fairly informal but went well - not a lot of tough questions just mostly background questions. Second round interview with a couple of potential peer managers, again fairly informal but did go into a few technical questions. Didn't hear from them again after second round, no response to email queries.

Interview Details – Was contacted via recruiter and scheduled an interview with the Hiring Manager the next day. After the brief talk with the manager, I was scheduled another interview with one of the software engineers. Asked about projects and how I would implement various features. He branched off my projects and skills to ask technical questions about jQuery, JS, HTML, CSS. Also asked about design questions both front-end and back-end.

Negotiation Details – As an intern, they give you a competitive package in terms of salary and housing. There may be a chance for slight negotiation, but it depends on how your other offers stack up against theirs.
