      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at eBay

      Interview

      The interview process started with a 30-minute recruiter screening, which focused on my background, experience, and interest in the role. The recruiter also provided an overview of the team and position. The next round was a 1-hour technical interview. I was asked to design and implement a Spring Boot application for an e-commerce website. The discussion covered REST API design, entity modeling, service and repository layers, application architecture, and coding best practices. The interviewer also asked follow-up questions about scalability, error handling, and design decisions made during the implementation. Overall, the interview was technical and practical, focusing on real-world backend development skills using Spring Boot.

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at eBay

      Interview

      There were five rounds in the process: an initial recruiter call, a first manager call, followed by three technical rounds in a loop. In the first round, they assessed whether my background aligned with the role requirements. During the manager call, I was expecting a coding round, but instead, they asked three situational questions. After that, I received a rejection.
