      Mar 28, 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Bellevue, WA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at eBay (Bellevue, WA) in Mar 2016

      Interview

      The recruiters are awful! Yikes. Applied online. After a month a recruiter from SFO eBay office called me and said someone from Bellevue will reach out to me 'shortly'. After 1 month, the Bellevue recruiter called me and said he will schedule an interview right away. After 2-3 weeks another recruiter sent a mail on Friday evening saying my interview is on Monday!!! I hope only the recruiters department sucks this much and the engineering department is much better.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at eBay (San Jose, CA) in Jul 2011

      Interview

      They do a phone screen for about an hour. Then they will fly you in and there are 7 rounds of interviews. They put together a group of people for interviews and they come from different teams. Don't be fooled into thinking that you are going to be working with these people. They are architects, senior engineers from across the company. I ended up working with some people who less technically skilled and never worked with most of the people I interviewed with. Manager also takes an interview.
