      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      16 Jul 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Airbnb (New York, NY) in Jul 2024

      Interview

      Overall, one of the absolute worst experiences I’ve had and looking through past reviews, It’s a shame no one tries to fix the process. I was very excited to have my interview, I have over 20 years experience and I was looking forward to working for a reputable company. Upon signing on to the interview, the interviewer joined, said nothing only until I introduced myself and asked about the format. The interviewer proceeded to say, they were waiting on someone else to join, so they could shadow. Great, I proceeded to ask why their camera wasn’t on, they then told me, it’s fine if your camera is off, they weren’t turning on theirs. Great, It was now pretty apparent this interviewer had poor communication skills and no experience conducting interviews, most importantly technical interviews. The interview continued as if a robot was conducting it, I provided answers and coded a working solution, without any feedback from the interviewer. The only way I knew the answers were correct is because the test cases passed and the interview ended 15 minutes early, no feedback, no introductions, and no time for questions. I really hope Airbnb looks at these reviews and does something about this , but I highly doubt it because it looks like this has been happening for quite sometime. Do yourself a favor and don’t waste your time or energy. Thanks for nothing!

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Airbnb in Feb 2026

      Interview

      Entrevista muito curta, prevista pra 15min mas acho que nem chegou a isso. Poucas perguntas e pouco espaço para o candidato falar sobre a sua experiência, nem a câmera a recrutadora ligou

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Airbnb

      Interview

      1. HR screen The HR asked about my experience and mentioned that their coding question is very difficult. So, we scheduled the first technical interview for two weeks later. 2. 1st technical interview Just the coding question, no more self-intro and project dive.

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Airbnb

      Interview

      Got an email from a recruiter 3 months after applying. 45 min coding assessment was the next round. You have to be flawless to pass this stage. I figured out the hardest part of the problem by myself but needed a hint for the other part. Wrote up the entire thing and didn't pass it. So unnatural.
