eBay

Engineering candidates run technical screens and a coding assessment; customer-experience roles use an online assessment; other functions add case studies or skills-based exercises. eBay states that AI is used to organise incoming applications for human review but that human recruiters retain decision-making authority, and explicitly asks candidates not to use AI tools during interviews or assessments. Because the loop is Zoom-only with role-specific assessment components, a candidate is committing several scheduled blocks over a multi-week window – the coding screen is the gating stage for engineering hires, and a candidate working multiple eBay applications still runs a separate loop per role.

eBay's Emerging Talent portfolio groups three named routes:

• Internship Program – summer placements for college students, with cohorts in the United States and Canada, Europe/Middle East/Asia, Australia and China/APAC
• Emerging Talent / Recent College Graduate (RCG) program – full-time roles for recent graduates, with cohort events, leadership tracks and on-demand learning
• [Honor Role Apprenticeship](https://jobs.ebayinc.com/us/en/honor-role-apprenticeship-program) – a six-month on-assignment placement for transitioning US service members and military spouses, run through the Department of Defense's SkillBridge initiative and spanning software engineering, product and cybersecurity

Function areas span engineering, product, marketing, finance and customer service. The three routes target distinct candidate profiles – current students, recent grads, transitioning service members – so an applicant is matched to one of them rather than running a portfolio across all three.

The firm publishes hybrid, remote and onsite as three deliberate workstyles assigned per role, so location options are part of the posted role rather than a post-offer negotiation. For a transitioning service member with a US service exit-date in the relevant window, Honor Role is a direct route into a tech-product role at the firm; for any other candidate, the workstyle published on the listing is the constraint to verify before applying, since it determines whether a given posting is realistic from a candidate's preferred location.
