I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PayPal (Austin, TX) in Sep 2014
Interview
Met for an on campus interview. After explaining my background and what I was looking for in the company I was given an invitation to the on-site interview. The onsite interview consisted of a video conference with an employee who sat on the same team but in another office. The conversation revolved around the type of problems I would be interested to work on. This interview was then followed up by a technical interview.

Question 1
What is the difference between a Queue and a Stack? How do you perform binary sort? What is FIFO/LIFO? How does mergesort work?
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.
