Quick turnaround, organized, helpful recruiter.
Overall this was one of the best interview processes I’ve had. Things moved fast, recruiter was helpful, interviewers were nice (one was quite condescending but oh well) and the in-house loop was actually quite interesting (it was mostly based on a presentation I had to prep in advance).

Question 1
Mostly questions on the presentation I had to prep in advance.
Behavioral interviews and a case study. Focus on product sense, data/ analytical insights, and impact. First meet with hiring manager and recruiter. After that, meet with product, engineering, data science, and design.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Airbnb in Feb 2024
Interview
Got an interview and made it to the recruiter screen only for the recruiter to call me 5 minutes late. She then asked me two questions (neither related to product management or the role) and then asked if I had any questions. She clearly made up her decision right away and I didn't even get a chance.

Question 1
Are you actively looking and if so, what are you looking for?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Airbnb
Interview
First a screener contacted me. We had the regular interview back and forth...tell me about yourself, type of questions. Then a meeting was set up between myself and the hiring manager, which also went well, but I guess not well enough.
