The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Airbnb (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
The interview process was pretty terrible, I would say look elsewhere or use them as practice (for other companies) if you want to leave with a positive experience whether rejected or not. I had went all the way to Onsites and was rejected over an automated email response, almost as if I was ghosted really. To go through 5 interviews and be rejected by an automated response, it was pretty disrespectful and I will never interview with them again because of this. The first call I had was with a recruiter and they were 20 minutes late. Had another recruiter who also didn’t seem like they knew what was going on. From then on, I just decided to use this interview process as practice for other companies. Most of the interviewers were kind but one did not speak at all for some reason, poorly conducted interview. Interview onsites were very long but not difficult. The recruitment process was very poorly conducted overall. Look elsewhere.
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.
