1st: Recruiter screening: - Please introduce yourself - Explain past relevant experience - Why ebay? 2nd: Hiring manager interview: - Why this position/ Why ebay? - Checking work capability - problem solving, math 3rd: On-site - pannel interview

I was first contacted by a recruiter who asked prescriptive questions regarding my skillset and salary expectations. Afterwards I was scheduled for an initial phone interview with one of the managers on the team who was really nice and approachable. Questions were more around my work history, my thoughts around eBay's current strategy and how they can improve their business model. It was more conversational, how a proper interview should be. Next round was the onsite interviews and this is where you get the true sense of why they can't fill this role. As others have said here, the interview is skewed to be a one way on why they should hire you rather than seeing if there is a mutual fit. No discussion around what they have to offer or any insights about their day to day work and how the team operates, even after asking this as a question. You spend the day getting drilled like you're taking exams. It's clear that none of them coordinate questions prior since all of them asked the same thing and each one delivered similar case studies which they hammer to death during your hour. This means not one person asked about me and my career goals, what I'm looking for and absolutely no behavioral questions to determine fit. I think one of them was aware of their shortcomings in interviewing because he said to me unexpectedly that they don't know how to interview any other way. The worse part of the interview process was their lack of human courtesy, an insight into their depressing work environment. Usually at onsite interviews, the interviewer offers water or has water there available in the room. You're talking hour after hour, of course we need water! Of course we may need a bathroom break! When I asked one of them if I could have a glass of water, he was visibly irritated that I asked and then didn't bother helping me get it (how am I suppose to know where things are in your kitchen?). It is clear the team is highly arrogant and disrespectful and I determined very quickly I did not want to work with these people. No surprise that I've seen the job readvertised about 3 times. A godsend to not get an offer at this very sad place.

Had a phone interview with a manager who was engaged, pleasant and seemed truly excited to talk to me. Was invited onsite afterwards to meet with 5 other people from the group. First interviewer was late, second one strolled in with just a cup of coffee (no laptop, notebook, etc) and yawned constantly. He made up questions on the spot, including a mini case based on my responses. Lunch was actually a formal interview - we got food from the employee café and brought it back to the interview room. The interviewer had a laptop open and was asking me questions and typing while I was trying to eat. All of them consistently cut me off when I was speaking and behaved as though the interview process was one-way only. None of them bothered to "sell" the group and the company to me. No one displayed basic courtesy of offering water or asking if I needed a break. I knew I was not going to get the offer because I did not do well during the case interviews. However I would think twice even if I did, because the group culture (with the exception of the phone interviewer) appears arrogant and somewhat disrespectful of others.
