Interview
I interviewed with Airbnb for a SWE intern position in October, 2018. I submitted my resume in an on-campus recruiting event and I heard back in roughly 1 week and was given an online challenge (~45 min HackerRank challenge). The HR reached out after I submitted the online challenge and asked me to schedule two 45 minutes technical phone interview with the engineers. The questions are Leetcode medium/hard level. What came next is a culture fit round, they ask you standard behavior questions but also questions related to Airbnb and traveling. If you passed all the rounds, you will receive a phone call form the HR discussing the offer. Airbnb moves fast with the interview process and overall it is a very positive experience!
“Three rounds in total. After a short recruiter screen, I had two 45-minute technical coding interviews on Zoom/CoderPad (data structures, algorithms, edge cases, complexity) followed by one 45-minute cross-team values interview focused on collaboration, ownership, communication, and product sense. No heavy system design. All interviews were virtual, interviewers were friendly and left time for questions. The process took about two weeks from scheduling to decision.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Airbnb in Oct 2022
Interview
OA then Interview process, Hackerrank with 2 questions but didn't make it to next round due to head count issues. I would say hackerrank is medium to hard level questions.
