Paypal SE -Android experience

Applied to Paypal through a linkedin job post around mid May. Got reached out by their HR late in May for an Online Assessment round on Hackerrank. OA was of 1 hour and contained 8 MCQ on Android and 2 DSA easy level leetcode - 2 sum + max profit. Cleared that and 2 WEEKS later got asked to interview for a subject in depth and DSA round. This round contained general Android knowledge and in depth language awareness questions(Kotlin based). Around the end of the interview, the interviewer asked to open any preferrer IDE and share the screen and then to write a solution for eliminating a target value from Integer array(can contain duplicates too) without using extra space. Cleared that and went on to the 3rd round three days later which was essentially a repeat of the previous round but more conversational. The time ran out before any DSA Question could be asked. Three days later got asked to interview for the Hiring Manager round which got scheduled and then got cancelled a day before the interview was supposed to take place. Tabse leke ye haal hai. HRs are ghosting and seem clueless themselves. Their workday portal also has removed the link for the role I was interviewing for. Who else has been through this haath ko aaya mooh na laga situation?

I've only heard bad things about Paypal HRs. There was a case of their HR shouting/threatening a candidate on call for not revealing current CTC lmao

UPDATE - Got reached out by PayPal again and was told the position I was being hired for had been put on hold indefinitely. There was another vacancy in a different team for which my candidature was moved ahead but another DSA round was needed before the HM round. In the DSA round Leetcode 278 was asked and I'm not sure if I'll be making it. 🙄

Why are you not sure? Isn't that a simple binary search question?

Getting ghosted by recruiters

In the past couple of months I have given multiple interviews where the interviewer said that they are good to go for the next round as the interview went well but the recruiter keeps ghosting. I am not sure where I am going wrong?

Flipkart SDE2 | Ghosted

Gave 4 long rounds for Flipkart sde 2 position. Did a decent job in all rounds (according to me). Now I am getting ghosted. HRs are not picking my calls from the last 6 or 7 days. Also saw a leetcode post today, the person had the same 1st round as mine so I think he got selected. Feeling very sad because this is the 3rd company that has ghosted me after taking all the rounds. HRs don't even have the basic work ethic to say yes/no on a 30 seconds call. Worst people I'd say Posted the interview experience on leetcode anonymously, if anyone wants to check: https://leetcode.com/discuss/interview-experience/5307781/Flipkart-or-SDE-2-or-Ghosted

Why HR Ghosts you in the middle of Salary discussion

I had a recent experience of having an interview with this MNC and getting negotiation calls,and I was willing to settle near their offer, just because the office was very nearby and then suddenly I got ghosted. I was not even actively looking for a job and 6 rounds of conversation and a month later I got ghosted. Why HR's don't give a black and white answers.

Jobs Thread: Who is hiring in November 2023? (TIA)

Hi peeps, Given the wonderful places you all work in, wanted to request if people can share good roles available out there at your company/some place you know. I’m on the lookout to a switch, but I know many are, might be very helpful to have shares across diff companies and roles. Hope this is okay. Thanks good people!
