I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Airbnb (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2017
Interview
I had applied the year before for an internship and got an offer. I reapplied for a full-time role this year but was rejected after two phone screen. I was very confused because I solved the problem on both the phone screens, and the interviewers sounded happy enough. Last year, when I interviewed with them about six times, when my interview was about that good or even worse, I got past that interview. So I was expecting to make it to the next round and was very confused when I found out I hadn't. Seems like either they are not in a hiring mood or that technical bar is way too high.

Question 1
1. Pretty tricky string parsing related question
2. Designing a class for financial transactions
Pretty standard engineering interview. Recruiter call, technical interview, system design. They also had a code review interview that I had never seen before. I thought it was a little trickier than average, but not horrible. Sucks that if you don't move to the next round you can't reapply for a year.
