Interview
I applied online and got request to record video of me answering 4 assigned questions. Silence for over a month and then got scheduled for another round with the hiring manager.
One thing I can never forget about the interview was that the hiring manager talked to me on a video call while driving and GPS was playing in the background. It was extremely distracting and I obviously wasn't getting the attention I very well deserved. Eventually it seems he did park his car and spoke to me describing the expectations from the job role. Needless to say I was indeed very excited about the role but disappointed by the experience, I wish the hiring manager had asked for an interview reschedule for a better time.
Its been more than a month already and no further word in spite of follow ups. Would have been nice if I received a feedback either ways.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PayPal (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2024
Interview
Got to the final stage after 4 rounds of interviews, which all felt very redundant. My recruiter was very responsive and transparent, which I really appreciated. However, multiple times within the 4 panel interviews, the topics I was told I would be interviewed on and then prepped for were not actually reflected in the conversation. I also felt that the panelists were interviewing for multiple positions at random, and didn't really know what team or position I was applying for. Recruiter called me personally to tell me I wasn't selected, which I appreciated.
