I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at PayPal (Omaha, NE) in Jun 2012
Interview
After applying online via careerlink.com, I was contacted about a week later and had a phone interview with a recruiter consisting of reviewing my job history & experience, why I applied to Paypal and where I wanted to be in 5 years with the company. (Pretty basic questions.) The recruiter set up a time to come in & take a skills assessment the next day on campus. The skill assessment took about 45 minutes, which consisted of a typing test (wpm) and an internet navigation test. I found out that I passed the same day, and was instructed to come in the following day for a 1:1 interview. My interview went very well and she was very friendly, and she answered all the questions that I had for her. My interview lasted for 30-45 mins. Overall my experience was very positive!

Question 1
What was the most difficult situation you've had to handle in your previous work environment?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PayPal (Dublin, Dublin) in Jul 2021
Interview
It was my first interview in Ireland, so I can't compare but I had a good experience on it. So my advice is study about the company and you will have good chances.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PayPal (Chandler, AZ) in Jul 2016
Interview
First interview was at a hiring event held in Chandler. Many people attended making this take a couple hours before you were able to actually be interviewed briefly by one of the many interviewers. The one I met with was nice and wanted to know about customer service experience and how and if I had ever dealt with customer concerns. Very brief interview, maybe 5-10 minutes then you are walked to the reception area where your hand is shaken and they tell you that you will hear back either phone or e-mail within the next week.
Received the call within a week asking me back for a second round of interviews within a week. On the day of my second interview I had to wait almost an hour after my scheduled time to be called in for the interview. There were again many people waiting.
Resumes were needed for both, and many people were not told this and has not brought them to the 2nd interview.
