Heard back after 15-20 days, phone interview was scheduled by an AI tool.
1. Screening was done over the phone call, no video. Pretty straight forward.
2. Hiring Manager, asked some questions, heavily focused on Epic definitions.

I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at eBay (Portland, OR) in Nov 2022
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me 2 days after sending my application. Was asked to provide pre-screen details (i.e why eBay, why this role, salary expectations, etc.) Was scheduled to zoom meet with a member (Engr Mgr) from the team. Was given feedback the same day after the screen. The team picked another candidate. It was a positive experience. Recruiting/coordination was quick and stream-lined. I received several reminders of my upcoming interview day.
