Case Presentation Group
The interview process took nearly two months, concluding with a rejection last week. It began with a screener interview, followed by discussions with two different individuals several weeks apart. A case study was then prepared and presented to a group. Updates on progression were often delayed by more than a week. Ultimately, an automated rejection was sent after significant time was invested in preparation, including an interview scheduled for the next morning that was only confirmed at 3 PM the day before. While the people interviewed were pleasant, the overall process was lengthy, demanding, and the waiting periods between updates were excessively long. The hiring manager mentioned that eBay's interview process tends to be slow due to the high caliber of candidates they invite for each position.

Behavioral Other
The interview process was super simple and smooth from start to finish. I had a great conversation with the recruiter, who was clear, thoughtful, and great about confirming times and details. The 30-minute Zoom interview was engaging, informative, and flowed naturally. It felt more like a dynamic, two-way conversation than a formal interview, which made it both comfortable and energizing. I appreciated how authentic and insightful it was—it gave me even more excitement and clarity about the role and the team.

First, a recruiter call where they asked basic questions about me and my past work experience. Then, a hiring manager interview that included case-based questions and more about my past experience. Finally, a panel round with 4 interviewers, focused solely on case-based questions, with no questions about past experience.
