I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PayPal (Chennai) in Jul 2010
Interview
I would call the whole experience is pathetic. Bunch of loggerheads don't even know how to handle a project management Interview. Only expected to answer what they think rather than the wholistic approach. The treatment itself was arrogant.
how do you determine a team size for a $8m project with a delivery span of 9 months?what are all the various options you bring in to the table if your project is running short of resource.How do you choose a project methodology for a $8mn size project and need to complete in 9 months?

Interview
I was first interviewed by the recruiter, who is friendly and easy to communicate. She got back to me in timely manner with a phone interview arrangement with the hiring manager. However the interview with the hiring manager wasn't a professional experience. First, I she was absent and had a peer in her team to interview me with no advanced notice to me and to the recruiter. Second, the substitute interviewer wasn't prepared and no focus questions. She called the conversation off without giving me sufficient response time because she got to run for a meeting.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PayPal (San Jose, CA) in Sep 2008
Interview
Was referred by past employee. Initial HR phone interview was followed by hiring manager phone interview, on-site one-on-one interviews with 6 different team members and another 5 or 6 phone interviews with other employees. Interviews usually had a mix of behavioral questions and use-case specific questions that required specific experience in the subject area, which I had. (I ultimately had to drop out of the application process because a move to CA was no longer possible.)
