I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PayPal (Blanchardstown) in Feb 2012
Interview
I met PayPal at CareerZoo, I was contacted personally about 2 weeks later and offered an interview the next day (I had to push it out a few days due to my schedule). I started with a phone interview in German, a technical test over HTML, CSS, etc., then a single interview with the manager and technical lead for the team together in the room at the same time. I would say my on-site time was under 3 hours.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing very difficult in and of itself, just that I was told CSS and HTML would be required, and there were questions about JavaScript, ColdFusion, etc.
