I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Airbnb (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2019
Interview
The interview process was a long series of mostly behavioral interview questions with a number of team members. These were usually short conversations about 30-45 minutes with immediate team and cross-functional team members.

Question 1
Explain a time in your role that you had to overcome a challenging situation or project
Behavioral interviews and a case study. Focus on product sense, data/ analytical insights, and impact. First meet with hiring manager and recruiter. After that, meet with product, engineering, data science, and design.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Airbnb in Feb 2024
Interview
Got an interview and made it to the recruiter screen only for the recruiter to call me 5 minutes late. She then asked me two questions (neither related to product management or the role) and then asked if I had any questions. She clearly made up her decision right away and I didn't even get a chance.

Are you actively looking and if so, what are you looking for?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Airbnb
Interview
First a screener contacted me. We had the regular interview back and forth...tell me about yourself, type of questions. Then a meeting was set up between myself and the hiring manager, which also went well, but I guess not well enough.

Question 1
The regular questions. Honestly, there were questions that were out of the ordinary.
