A candidate for the Summer 2023 Software Engineer Internship at eBay received an invitation for two 45-minute interviews after completing an Online Assessment via CodeSignal.

• Online Assessment: Administered through CodeSignal.
• Technical Interviews (2 rounds, 45 minutes each): Each interview typically started with 5-10 minutes of behavioral questions, followed by approximately 30 minutes of LeetCode-style technical questions. The candidate was advised to leave 5 minutes at the end for their own questions.

Specific coding questions mentioned were:

• Longest Palindrome Substring
• Convert an arbitrary binary tree to an AVL tree

The interviewee who shared this experience for a 2021 summer internship mentioned that the process hadn't changed and they ended up getting the offer. The technical questions were described as "pretty basic".
