I applied online. I interviewed at Airbnb (Bengaluru) in Oct 2022
Interview
4 rounds were offered- 2 DS/Algo, 1 System Design and 1 Experience Round. Algo/DS and System Design went average but experience round were not satisfactory. I work for a startup and here I have developed few services and manage them on my own. Interviewer started belittling me. I tried to handle the situation but I think that he fixated his thought over somethings
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General DS and Algorithm problems and system design based on related problem to airbnb
Recruiter is super responsive and helping with team matching. People are friendly. Process is standard. Coding question is difficult which is like leetcode hard question. SD interview is standard but question is specific to Airbnb domain.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Airbnb in Feb 2026
Interview
Entrevista muito curta, prevista pra 15min mas acho que nem chegou a isso. Poucas perguntas e pouco espaço para o candidato falar sobre a sua experiência, nem a câmera a recrutadora ligou
1. HR screen
The HR asked about my experience and mentioned that their coding question is very difficult. So, we scheduled the first technical interview for two weeks later.
2. 1st technical interview
Just the coding question, no more self-intro and project dive.
