      IOS Engineer Interview

      2 Sept 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Bengaluru
      Declined offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      I interviewed at PayPal (Bengaluru) in Aug 2020

      Interview

      Applied through internal referral. I really liked the first round. The interviewer was so pleasant and made the interview experience really pleasant. She even connected on LinkedIn to answer any questions. Feedback to the recruiter: She was very responsive to the phone calls. But she wasn’t proactive to share the results. Every time I had to call her to get the update and she explicitly mentioned that she would be busy with meetings so she asked me to call and get the update as if we are not professionals and not having any other meetings in our office 😀 Then came the shocker: this is a coding round. The interviewer had a bossy attitude. He turned off his video while asking me to keep the video on as if I would copy paste the code from google. He asked me to give introductions but he didn’t give his intro. So I stopped him to give introduction before proceeding. I have the solution within 5 mins and wrote the code as well. I told him I don’t know the syntax and wanted to search google. But he didn’t let me do that. Suddenly he said what if we change the input format from string to int. I got totally frustrated by then with this guy. He wasn’t talking or involving in the discussion as well during the interview which made it even more cumbersome especially with the video call and his video being turned off. I shared the feedback to the recruiter right after the interview. Finally I got the result as 50-50 after several phone calls and she said she wanted to discuss with the hiring manager to see how to proceed further. Then I told them I also didn’t like the interview so please don’t proceed further with my profile.

      I interviewed at PayPal

      Interview

      Glider.AI screening with poorly set up questions that waste your time on figuring out how to run the tests. After 2 coding questions there were 7 coding "fill in the blank" questions and finally 5 multiple choice.

      Question 1

      Various LeetCode questions, seemly randomly picked and poorly set up

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PayPal (San Jose, CA) in Jul 2025

      Interview

      Initial recruiter screening and forwarded to initial tech screening i.e 1 hr, 20 minutes iOS Fundamental, 20 minutes Discussion and Analysis of the small iOS application and last 20 min DSA easy to medium. Recruiter shared that I cleared the tech screening and forwarded to lead recruiter, they we had screening again and lead recruiter shared me about the next rounds in detail and invited me to final loop rounds. 1. iOS role specialization(went well, it was more like pair programming) 2. Mobile System Design(went above average, 3. DSA(disaster, hard graph problem) and 4. Behavioral(went well, I had great time having this) each 1 hr. As expected the results were not good. Since it was my first interview after coming to USA. I had lot of learnings from it.
