I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at PayPal (San Jose, CA) in Jul 2021
Interview
A bit long. HR screening, hiring manger, take home assignment, 6 person panel at 45min each, and final interview with manager of the position.
Overall good experience, but there were some longer stretches of time just waiting.
Mostly behavioral and some more high level situational questions. Only a couple of product design/case study questions. Zero estimation or other types of Google style interview questions.

I had 2 rounds interviews, one with the direct manager, the other one with skip manager. Both were very nice and friendly. The questions were very standardized product management questions.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at PayPal (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2026
Interview
The interview process started with me sending 2 documents of products launch and projects that I’ve worked before with no context, after that the schedule a meeting with the hiring manager who was not paying attention during the interview. So it seemed odd
