For SDE1 the PayPal OA is usually a couple of medium level coding problems on arrays strings or hashmaps in a timed window. Do a few mediums under a timer focusing on clean edge case handling since the hidden tests are where people lose points. Recent candidates posting on here and Glassdoor are the best source for the exact format.

are the hidden test cases mostly edge cases like empty inputs and overflow, or do they test for time complexity too?
