Interview
I had an initial conversation with a PayPal recruiter to discuss my background and the role, followed by a coding interview with Karat. The interviews themselves were a positive experience. After waiting about a week for updates, I reached out to the recruiter but haven’t received a response yet. I’m still unclear on the typical timeline and steps in PayPal’s hiring process.
