      Staff Software Engineer (MTS1) Interview

      Nov 7, 2014
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Shanghai, Shanghai
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at eBay (Shanghai, Shanghai) in Aug 2013

      Interview

      The position is for big data related platform. More than 7-8 rounds for several weeks. One reason is that recruiting manager takes business trip at the beginning. Other local managers/engineers interview me first. Then recruiting managers. BU director at last.
