      Software Engineer Interview

      Dec 23, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      San Jose, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at eBay (San Jose, CA)

      Interview

      I interviewed for a couple of positions through recruiters. Had a mixed experience. 1st one the interviewers were very friendly and welcoming, i failed most probably due to my own small mistakes at the system design part. But the entire process was really seamless and just the feedback part was too lengthy and i had to follow up multiple times to know that i am not selected. Now comes the real experience, 2nd position which i applied for , i cleared the phone screen and the coding interview and was called onsite. It was a 5 - 6 round onsite . First round there was a mix up of rooms and we did not find a room booked , really ?? Is that the way we plan at ebay? However the interviews started , typical leetcode problems. I agree i did not give the best answers , but the interviewers ? They were literally unclear about the cross questions i asked. One of them he walked in 20 mins late and with his lunch in hand. Was literally rude with the questions , like he wanted to prove his superiority at me. Why did your current client not convert you ? Is that a question to be asked here ? He himself was not clear about the design question asked and on cross questions made faces , really? One of them was even great , started working on his laptop and no response to what i am doing on the white board. Felt like walking out but i kept my cool and finished the horrible experience somehow. They did not even have the politeness to tell the feedback till now.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at eBay

      Interview

      The interview process started with a 30-minute recruiter screening, which focused on my background, experience, and interest in the role. The recruiter also provided an overview of the team and position. The next round was a 1-hour technical interview. I was asked to design and implement a Spring Boot application for an e-commerce website. The discussion covered REST API design, entity modeling, service and repository layers, application architecture, and coding best practices. The interviewer also asked follow-up questions about scalability, error handling, and design decisions made during the implementation. Overall, the interview was technical and practical, focusing on real-world backend development skills using Spring Boot.

      Application

      I interviewed at eBay

      Interview

      There were five rounds in the process: an initial recruiter call, a first manager call, followed by three technical rounds in a loop. In the first round, they assessed whether my background aligned with the role requirements. During the manager call, I was expecting a coding round, but instead, they asked three situational questions. After that, I received a rejection.
