First contact with a recruiter after applying for one of their roles on LinkedIn. She was incredibly helpful and transparent about the whole process, and did the most she could to help me prep. First phone screen was with a hiring manager where we had a pretty in-depth conversation about the role, the team I'd be on, and my past relevant experience. He was very laid back and this portion felt a lot like a conversation between 2 engineers, rather than an interrogation like a lot of big-tech interviews. Next phase, a virtual onsite, which is essentially 4 one-hour long interviews with 4 different engineers. The first two interviews were coding interviews (leetcode medium), a system design question, and a behavioral/relevant experience round. Offer was made the next week. I will say, I'm normally very nervous during coding interviews. I mean, I can code, but doing it in front of someone who determines your career prospects in a given time limit is gut-wrenching. The PayPal engineers I coded with were incredibly accommodating and made me feel very comfortable for the whole thing by collaborating with me to solve the problem rather than sitting there in disappointed silence. The behavioral round was a two-way conversation gave me a solid idea of what working at PayPal is like. By far the smoothest big-tech panel interview that I've experienced. TIPS: -Don't worry to much about getting the optimal solution in code, but be sure to communicate what you think a more efficient solution may be. -Doing well in all portions is more important than being Turing during the coding rounds and bombing system design and behavioral. -If there's a breathe of silence, you're doing it wrong. Communicate your thought process; if you're thinking, then you should be talking. -Definitely research the tech stack and read the job description, prepare to go into detail about how your past experience is relevant ( even if its not ;) ) -FYI: I practiced the problems other interviewee's posted here, and every coding problem I got was here on this page.
