I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Airbnb (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Starts off with a phone interview for screening and explanation of what to expect. Next and final step is onsite with 4 or 5 face to face meetings. Each interview was one on one. Met with RC, 2 Sourcers, Recruiter and Manager. Half of the people don't have more than a year or two experience. It was a bit insulting since I have over 10 and couldn't really talk to a true peer. No one smiles much. Not sure if they're not happy or just wanted to get through the interview and back to recruiting. I was rejected. They were nice enough to call me instead of email form letter.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typical interview questions for a recruiter. Not focused on metrics/past performance,achievements, more on how you solve problems. Totally fine to interview this way but doesn't give any credit for prior experiences.
Went into the pdx office for an in person interview. Was given a tour and was asked to meet with a culture ambassador. Which I thought was weird. The interviewer asked me a lot of different questions and I answered the best I could at the end. He said that he felt like he didn’t really know me personally and in my mind, I thought to myself well maybe you should’ve asked me questions that would help you answer that thought of how can I get to know this guy better personally.

Question 1
I was asked multiple question regarding my approach to recruiting and achievements. But then the interviewer told me they felt they didn’t know me. It was very weird.
All interview rounds were smooth and well-informed. Everyone was clear on what they were looking for, and I had fun speaking with them. Got to know more about the company, 2 rounds of core values
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Airbnb (Bengaluru) in Oct 2024
Interview
Recruiter screen, followed by 2 rounds of interviews with senior folks in recruiting. Fully remote role hence online interviews. Interviews were scheduled fairly soon but the feedback took forever to come through. Recruiting coordinator was very weird and rude throughout the process. Was an entitled coordinator by the looks of it. Had no idea about the interview rounds or process.
