Candidatei-me online. Fui entrevistado pela eBay (Bengaluru) em fev. de 2026
Entrevista
Applied for the job on their portal. Have listed 9 points:-
(1) No candidate account creation so we can’t track our application.
(2) A week later, i got an email from HR for asking few details.
(3) Two days later I saw mail from
Ebay to give a “CodeSignal” online test. The details in the mail were very misleading and I had some doubts.
(4) I got no call from HR asking me to give the test. Which will also give me opportunity to clear my doubts. I had to mail back to HR asking him/her when’s the last date to submit. No response came from HR.
(5) 2 days later I completed the test just for the sake of it. It was 4 levels of coding to be done within 90 mins. I was able to complete only 3 correctly.
(6) Intimated HR about the completion of test. No response
(7) Three days later I get a call from another HR and schedules “round-1 interview” with wrong details in calendar invite. My name was totally different in the invite / mail (which they corrected the next day).
(8) Gave round-1 interview. It was 1:1 online tech discussion for an hour which went fine.
(9) Its been more than 10 days, I did not get single reply from HR nor I got a “noreply” email from company. I followed up thrice in these 10 days. Seems like they ghosted me!

CodeSignal test. It's not the same for everyone. You will have to switch on front cam and share screen to give the test. No one to proctor.
The interview process was pretty straightforward and well organized. I had a technical interview that focused on backend API design. The interviewer was professional and the questions were reasonable for a senior software engineer role. Overall the experience was positive and the communication was clear.

Springboot api white board write component like Service, repository, controller, model.
Question like
1. different way of dependency injection, when should we use constructor/method injection.
2. handle exception in controller. (I didnt, because in my exp, I usually use exception handler (AOP feature), auto handle exceptions)
3. except for AOP and exception handler what else we could handle exception for all controller. Interviewer said advice, but it think this is also belong to AOP concept...
4. Springboot how to switch application-property basing on env. what is profile. how to set env variable.
Waste of time. Told me to study leet code. Interview was nothing like leetcode. Expected me to write service in 30 mins.
Interviewer wasn’t professional. Asked weird questions.
Would not recommend to waste time.
