I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at eBay in Oct 2014
Interview
Got the request after a career fair at my university
First there were a few questions about my resume and qualifications and projects that I did. This part was pretty straight forward.
After that they asked me a programming question. The task was to write a function that, given a particular filename ending, returns a list of all files with this extension with a language of choice.

Question 1
There was no really unexpected question, but I didn't know the exact syntax how to open files in any language and thought they would ask more general data structure/programming questions.
Received an invitation to an online assessment on CodeSignal. Format is 4 questions of increasing difficulty within 70 minutes. Most of the scoring is by the browser-based coding environment. Instructions specifically specify not to use another IDE, which makes debugging difficult.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at eBay (Houston, TX) in Oct 2016
Interview
I put my resume into a tech conference database and was contacted by eBay. First I was invited to take an online hackerrank challenge by recruiters. After a few weeks I got a call back to get an in person technical interview during the tech conference. I got a call with a job offer the next day! It took several weeks to get a specific team to offer me a position though, which I thought was odd.
