I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PayPal (Bengaluru) in Aug 2024
Interview
The first round was an online assessment with LeetCode medium-hard-level questions asked. 6 people were selected for the interview round. The interview was very smooth, and the interviewer was helpful and overall decent. There was a discussion about the projects in my resume, and then we moved onto a DSA question on stacks. I'd say it was an upper-medium-level question. I unfortunately bombed it; otherwise, it was a decent chance.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given an array of integers representing cars in a row. The indices of the cars in the array represent their positions.
For each car, the value represents its size, and the sign represents its direction (+ve -> right and -ve -> left). Each car moves at the same speed.
Find out the state of the cars after all collisions. If two cars collide, the smaller one will explode. If both are the same size, both will explode. Two cars moving in the same direction will never meet.
