They presented me with an interesting problem that related to the problems the firm attempts to solve. It was really challenging but also fun to tackle; I would say the hardest part of the challenge was that I ran out of time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basically wanted to figure out how to sort some listings Airbnb would present their customers on their site with some constraints.
“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
