I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PayPal in Oct 2021
Interview
Apply via their workday. Recruiter reach out to schedule initial meeting with hiring manager to explain role and what they were looking for in a candidate. First round was an hour. 1 easy LC question followed by basic Java questions. Second round was 2 hours. First part was 1 medium coding question, not really LC, a little more realistic. Second part was Java questions and behavioral questions. Next day recruiter called asking about my salary expectations, confirmed the interviews went well, and that I’ll have an official offer after the weekend.

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.
