I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Airtable in Dec 2022
Interview
They gave me an option to skip a TPS for a longer OA, I thought this was really cool. I opted for the longer OA. They sent me a Hatchways assessment where I had to push code to an actual GitHub repository. The assessment was very real-world, not like a DS&A, and it was also related to an Airtable feature which was a fun learning experience. I didn’t make it past the assessment, but the best part was the feedback that was provided on my code. It made me feel like a valued applicant.

Question 1
There was an incomplete application designed mainly to interpret and solve some formulas, this was Git based,
Recruiter then phone screen - phone screen was “product based” and easy LC difficulty, interviewer was very kind, helpful and attentive. Passed the round but didn’t move forward due to accepting a different offer
I applied online. I interviewed at Airtable (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2026
Interview
The phone screen was very conversational and good follow ups were asked. It was specific to an AirTable feature used in the spreadsheet operations. I would say it is not LeetCode style and the recruiter had already told me this would be close to a real world problem.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Airtable
Interview
Had a recruiter screen which went well, I really liked the recruiter here! Super nice and on top of it, and I was excited for the opportunity to interview here. However, I didn't appreciate my interviewer at all. My interviewer was very unhelpful and did a terrible job at explaining the overview of what needed to be implemented. At one point, he even laughed/scoffed at something I was saying, and I just felt very disrespected, and he gave me an air of arrogance. If this is the type of engineer Airtable hires, then I'm certainly not a good fit for this company. In addition, he didn't give me enough time to think, and when I was proposing an idea he would try to give me the answer before I even had an adequate amount of time to think. Like hold on! I'm getting to it. I truly don't think I was given a fair chance because of the interviewer I was given but it's okay, there are other opportunities out there. Just super unfortunate because I really liked my recruiter and I thought this culture would be reflected during the interview process!
