PayPal interview questions

I actually knew someone at the company, and with their referral everything went quite smoothly. Standard questions about technologies relevant to the company, work history, etc. PayPal is mostly a C++ shop, though the Platform team (external-facing API stuff) is Java. People in my area are very focused, and a great deal of work is done on an individual-contributor basis. Some of the most important parts and projects are actually one-man jobs. So, be ready to work and figure stuff out yourself. Also, the developer environment here is not the most innovation-friendly.

I showed up to a job fair held at papal where I took a typing and computer knowledge test. Once passed they automatically schedule you an interview. I went in later that week where I did a one on one interview with a supervisor from customer solutions. She was very nice and laid back. She wanted to know about my customer service background and examples of difficult situations and how I solved them. I passed the interview process and went on for a background check that is scrutinizing. With absolutely no criminal background and being honest throughout the application process I was declined. So don't get your hopes up before you actually recieve a call setting up your schedule.
