I recently interviewed for a MTS position at PayPal. The process consisted of five rounds: First screening with Karat where few scenario based question and 2 easy to medium level coding questions were asked. Round 1: The first round was an online coding assessment consisting of two medium-level coding problems focused on data structures and algorithms. The problems were straightforward, and I was able to solve both within the time limit. Round 2: System design - The interviewer asked about scaling, data consistency, and handling concurrent uploads and search functionality across files. Role Specialization: This was focused on Java, Spring Boot, and system design. The questions were quite detailed, covering multi-threading, microservices architecture, and database design. The interviewer was technical and engaged, but the questions were fair. Leadership Round: The final round was focused on leadership principles, handling conflicts, and decision-making in a team environment. Unfortunately, this round left a negative impression. The interviewer seemed overly focused on work-life balance and working hours. He stated that PayPal also expects employees to work from 9 AM to 10:30 PM regularly with couple of breaks in between and implied that this would be expected. This raised some concerns about work-life balance and the overall culture.
