I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at PayPal (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2014
Interview
Extremely slow. Even after interview goes very well and the manager talks to me after positive feedback they take months to move to the next step, which is suddenly process changes so they want to do more round of interviews. Don't waste your time here.

Question 1
A software engineer comes up with "google searched" coding question for which I am sure he did not know the answer because when I asked him whats the exact solution since got to the closest possible in that 5 minutes of thinking, he did not give me the solution he looked lost himself! He wrote something on the board but when I walked through a sample scenario it did not work. So when he as a interviewer after research did not have a "perfect" answer, he expects me to solve in that 3 - 5 mins?!
Now I wait and wait for weeks after they spoke to me the salary expectations etc and then they say btw they want to do another round of interview. Forget it!!!
