Don't be fooled into thinking that you are going to be working with these people. They are architects, senior engineers from across the company. I ended up working with some people who less technically skilled and never worked with most of the people I interviewed with. Manager also takes an interview.

Interview
The recruiters are awful! Yikes.
Applied online. After a month a recruiter from SFO eBay office called me and said someone from Bellevue will reach out to me 'shortly'. After 1 month, the Bellevue recruiter called me and said he will schedule an interview right away. After 2-3 weeks another recruiter sent a mail on Friday evening saying my interview is on Monday!!!
I hope only the recruiters department sucks this much and the engineering department is much better.
