Me postulé a través de un reclutador. Acudí a una entrevista en eBay (Bellevue, WA) en mar 2017
Entrevista
Good talented engineers stay out of Bellevue office ! Very bad experience because of following reasons:
1. Irresponsible recruiter - okay i should not blame the company because of one person. He sent wrong emails and had to send multiple emails for follow up
2. Interviewers who take phone calls during whiteboard session- no professionalism
3. very specific question from java to explain a library - i never got asked from my prior experience or got tested for problem solving skills
4. No room booked for onsite interview and one interviewer joking said that you will see lot of similar problems if you join here in future and actual work you do is less.
5. Lunch interview was fine. Interviewer was smart. But he asked me if i wanted to smoke. He smoked cigarettes asking me questions after we went to a burger place nearby.
6. Another interviewer was totally unprepared. He was asking life questions. i take lot of interviews myself. So i can certainly say they were not behavioral questions.
7. Two interviewers(one lunch interviewer and another bar riser) were very smart and asked good questions. Rest were poor interviews and did not test my skills. Questions were not related to job descriptions or my experience
8. Finally, they never reimbursed my interview expenses after multiple followup emails.
I could get a sense of work culture, coworkers and what everyday looks like. I am not sure about other offices but Bellevue office looked like a bad place to work. I had other better offers and chose them.
Preguntas de entrevista [1]
Pregunta 1
cant disclose because of NDA but they were very straightforward.
The interview process started with a 30-minute recruiter screening, which focused on my background, experience, and interest in the role. The recruiter also provided an overview of the team and position.
The next round was a 1-hour technical interview. I was asked to design and implement a Spring Boot application for an e-commerce website. The discussion covered REST API design, entity modeling, service and repository layers, application architecture, and coding best practices. The interviewer also asked follow-up questions about scalability, error handling, and design decisions made during the implementation.
Overall, the interview was technical and practical, focusing on real-world backend development skills using Spring Boot.

Leet code medium question and follow up questions about data structure
There were five rounds in the process: an initial recruiter call, a first manager call, followed by three technical rounds in a loop.
In the first round, they assessed whether my background aligned with the role requirements. During the manager call, I was expecting a coding round, but instead, they asked three situational questions. After that, I received a rejection.
