Got contacted by the HR. Had an initial screening round and then 4 video rounds with the team members including 2 PMs, 1 SPM and the hiring manager. Each round lasted for 1 hour. Interview was conducted over a 2 week period. After the 4th and final round I was told that my profile is on hold and they will notify me about the results. I followed up every week for 2 months but got the same response from the HR. And then one day they sent a standard mail stating "we found a slight mismatch between what we are looking for and what you possess". It doesn't take 4 rounds and an additional 2 months to determine the mismatch they are talking about. I wasn't even given feedback as to what went wrong even after repeatedly asking for the same. Clearly, they might have found a better candidate and delayed informing me for 2 months till that candidate joined the firm. They used me as backup for their sinister reasons. This is very wrong, untrustworthy and unexpected from a company like PayPal. Would highly recommend PayPal to review and improve their hiring processes, candidate communication and deadlines on informing the candidate about the results. Making a potential employee wait for 2 months and then hire someone else is uncalled for.
