How have your leadership skills developed in your current role?
I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Airbnb (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2024
Interview
I went through three interviews only to be ghosted by the recruiter halfway through the interview process. The process was very slow, with multiple weeks between interviews - zero urgency on their part. After the third interview, I reached out to the recruiter three times for an update and received no response. It's extremely unprofessional to waste a candidate's time like this, especially given the time and effort already given.
