      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at eBay (San Jose, CA) in Sep 2017

      Interview

      1. HR found me on LinkedIn. 2. We went through informal vetting process, and then I applied online for the position we discussed. 3. I went through a teleconference with the hiring team. 4. I was invited onsite for a day full of different interviews with cross-functional teams. 5. Within a week I was provided the final decision & feedback.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      I cannot disclose the questions for obvious reasons. But I can definitely say that like any other big & established organizations leadership, eBay panelists knew that they were interviewing "a personality", and hence the panel did NOT necessarily focus or drilled on 1 specific area in technology or behavioral skills ... and instead covered multiple dimensions from an overall perspective. It was a very well balanced interview, with a very mature & respectful panel. Based on the HR feedback, I did not receive an offer primarily because my lack of experience on the Data side of things ... and given another chance I would really like to re-apply for leadership position at eBay.
