I applied through other source. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Airbnb (Tokyo) in June 2015
Interview
At first, I had a phone interview with the HR manager who came from Singapore for the interview. Another day, we had a creative group activity to test the team work skill first and later had a simulation to answer a customer's claim over the phone.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me why I want to work for the customer service position.
I applied online, and it took about two weeks to get my first interview. The entire interview process felt casual, friendly, and honestly quite enjoyable overall.
1. Screening Interview with HR
They asked about my previous experience and why I was interested in a customer experience role. There was also a Q&A session about the position itself, along with a role-play exercise based on a real customer support scenario.
2. Interview with the Hiring Manager
After passing the first stage, I completed an online assessment. The hiring manager interview focused more on practical customer support situations and role-play exercises involving real-case scenarios.
3. Final Interview
The final round mainly focused on core values, culture fit, and my passion for the role.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Airbnb (Singapore) in Jan 2019
Interview
It was a pretty straightforward and fun experience.
1. Video interview (recording)
2. Photo interview
3. Hiring meetup (similar to an assessment centre)
4. Core value interview
I did not pass the Hiring Meetup, probably because I was too honest about my intention that I might not stay in the customer experience team for very long period (3-5 years).
