Summary
I cleared all interview rounds for the SE3 role at Paypal in February 2025, but unfortunately, no open positions were available after a process that took over a month, leading to disappointment due to lack of clear communication.
Full Experience
Online assessment: 2 questions
1st round : DSA

2nd Round : Java and HLD
- Java and spring boot questions

The process took almost more than 1 month.
Received email that I’ve cleared all rounds but no open positions. Disappointing as no clear communication and not picking calls when tried to reach out.
