Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 6 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela eBay (San Jose, CA) em dez. de 2018
Entrevista
I applied for the position on Ebay's career site. Within a week I was contacted by a recruiter who described the role and the interview process. Within a couple of days after the initial contact with the recruiter, I was invited to do a phone interview using a shared online editor. I did spectacularly on the phone screen. The interviewer told me on the spot that I will be called for an onsite interview.
Within a couple of days after the phone screen, I was contacted by the recruiter (a different one from the original recruiter) who introduced me to a lady who was in charge of setting up the interview and other logistics. The onsite interview was held mid-December, 2018. Once again I did really well in the multiple onsite interviews.
However, it has been almost a month and I still haven't received any feedback about the result of the interview. I have sent out emails to each of the three recruiting personnel who participated in setting up interviews, but none of them have even acknowledged the receipt of my emails.
This leads me to conclude that I was not a "culture-fit" since I am a middle aged woman. They want me to just go away without their having to say so explicitly. This is because they don't have the courage to do this since I did extremely well in the interviews.
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.

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.
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.
