I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PayPal (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2011
Interview
First talked with the recruiter, after a phone screening interview was scheduled with the hiring manager. After passing the initial screening, was invited to the site for a formal interview with the hiring manager and to speak with a team selected by the hiring manager. After that spoke a little bit more with the hiring manager and then left.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
interestingly the hiring manager asked about my family and how many children do I have.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at PayPal in Mar 2010
Interview
I recently had a 1-1 phone interview with the hiring manager and have been told that the face to face interviews will be set up and I will be notified soon.
The recruiter called me and set up the phone interview for the same day. The interview was very pleasant - lots of questions on program management, all of them very valid. If you are an experienced program manager, you will find this part of the process easy
Work culture seems very informal - I was told that all levels of employees sit in cubicles (even senior management).
