      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Airbnb in Sep 2021

      Interview

      Applied online. Got an email from the recruiter containing a link to the online assessment. Did it in an optimized approach with all test cases passing, still received a reject. Why waste a candidate's time when you guys have decided to reject based on the CV or other factors?

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Airbnb

      Interview

      “Three rounds in total. After a short recruiter screen, I had two 45-minute technical coding interviews on Zoom/CoderPad (data structures, algorithms, edge cases, complexity) followed by one 45-minute cross-team values interview focused on collaboration, ownership, communication, and product sense. No heavy system design. All interviews were virtual, interviewers were friendly and left time for questions. The process took about two weeks from scheduling to decision.
