I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Airbnb (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2015
Interview
I initially got contacted by a recruiter looking to hire for a new position similar to user research. I had two phone screens and one in-person interview, and there was a long period of not hearing back except to let me know they weren't sure which department the position would be best suited in. Finally, they decided to not hire for that position but wanted to interview me and see if I could fit in the UX team. I had another phone screening with someone from UX who hadn't seen my resume and didn't know about the recruiter or any of my previous interviews. Went away feeling like this was unprofessional, and that they struggle hiring someone with an unconventional background.
