I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PayPal (San Jose, CA) in Feb 2018
Interview
I applied through my school's career fair. Was contacted a few days later by the hiring manager and had a brief behavioral interview over the phone. Then had a second technical phone interview where I was asked several conceptual programming questions and a simple algorithmic coding problem. The next day I was invited for an on-site interview in San Jose, CA. Had three 45-minute technical coding interviews followed by a 30-minute behavioral interview. The coding problems involved a solid understanding of data structures and algorithms. Was notified the next day I was offered the position and accepted. Overall, great interviewing experience. They were fast, responsive, and friendly.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at PayPal (Singapore) in Aug 2022
Interview
I applied in early August 2022. There were 3 rounds in total, 1 OA round, 1 technical round, and 1 behavioral round. Pros: It was easy to talk to the interviewers as they were friendly and approachable. Cons: Still waiting for the final interview results for over a month plus. I think the communication could have been improved if they had informed us earlier that the slots had been filled up.
