Paypal Interview Experience for Internship

Last Updated : 4 Sep, 2024

I applied through my university in November 2023

Interview Process

  • Online test
  • Technical Interview
  • HR interview

Online Test

The Test consists of 2 medium-level coding questions. I didn't remember whether there were any mcq or not.

Technical Interview

The interviewer was very friendly. He explained what was going to happen in this round(introduction, oops, DSA coding).

Firstly he introduced himself and later asked for my introduction.

He jumped on to oops questions. He asked about OOPS basics.

  • What is inheritance, polymorphism (real-life examples), abstraction, and encapsulation
  • what are the different types of polymorphism? Tell me more about virtual functions (runtime polymorphism)
  • what is abstraction? can we make the abstract class private?

I asked every question, and I gave one wrong answer about the private abstract class but with the correct explanation so he corrected me.

He jumped into coding. He shared a hackerrank link with me.

The coding questions he asked are :

  1. Implement a queue using stacks
  2. Check whether there is a cycle in a linked list or not
  3. Extension of the second question: find the start of the cycle.

HR Interview

The interview started with my introduction .and then the interviewer gone through my resume.He asked thoroughly about the things in resume in depth.He asked me one easy coding question based on array which can solved using hashmap.
