I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Airbnb (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2017
Interview
I was referred to Airbnb through a friend, so I got an interview. It was a phone call with a technical person. The senior engineer asked me a question which I couldn't find a correct answer to in 30 minutes. He was cooperative, and he gave me a hint, but I still couldn't solve the problem.

Question 1
Given an array of arrays, implement an iterator class to allow the client to traverse and remove elements in the array list. This iterator should provide three public class member functions: hasNext(), next(), and remove().
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.
