I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at eBay (Bellevue, WA) in Sep 2016
Interview
This was for Bellevue based position. HR call and then 1st telephonic round with engineer in Bellevue (took days to set this up).
The interviewer was very arrogant. Kept interrupting me several times and break my thought process. I mean common - don't you want to know the thinking process? Else I'd just memorize and write code.
His attitude kept getting worse. At a point I thought I should hang up (since I already had other 2 offers). During the conversation some sentences were not clear (due to his accent and since he was on speaker), so I asked him to please repeat. At which he blurted "I ... SAID... THAT ... blah blah". Who would want to work with you dude! Get a break.
I asked questions at the end about team and bellevue office size. He said he does not know. The call ended.. I emailed HR that I don't want to go further with the process.
