I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at PayPal (Austin, TX) in Jan 2022
Interview
First round-Recruiter call , went well
Second round-Hiring manager.
I applied through employee referral. The interview went well and the hiring manager had a "positive feedback". I was told I have a lot of potential and the recruiter will get back to me. Its been 5 months and the recruiter is still going to "call me". After sending an email atleast 5 times, I am still waiting and I came to know the role is still open.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mostly behavioral and very few technical questions. the manager did not have indepth technical knowledge and seemed a little confused regarding the questions.

I had a recruiter call and they said they would send me a link to a Karat interview round in a week but I never received it. I mailed the recruiter multiple times but got no response or communication about it

I interviewed 2 round, one front end, one hire manager, but didn’t move forward. The hr is helpful, the hire manager round asked about system design questions, which I feel may cause the rejection.
