      UX Researcher Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Airbnb (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2017

      Interview

      45 minute portfolio, then 6 separate 30 minute 1:1 interviews, 2 of which being culture fit - shorter then every other panel I've ever done. Everything is rushed - 1/2 the time of anywhere else I've ever interviewed. Honestly in retrospect should have done more to prepare for this and really nail down story telling. Nothing felt difficult or taxing. Particularly impressed with the panel - awesome folks and really enjoyed the culture. Culture fit interviews - expect them to get personal quickly. Portfolio 45 minutes, as opposed to the usual hour at other places. Be as detailed as possible with your research methods, constraints, limitation and context setting for your research and stick to the research for examples. Expect people to be late. Expect late responses to check ins. Expect almost no time for your own questions during the interviews. Mixed bag overall - really loved the 1:1s and the people - really surprised at the feedback because everyone was incredibly positive during the sessions - no obvious signs that it wasn't enough. The condensed format did not feel enough time to go into enough depth on anything - if you've been working in an area that requires extra context setting before you go into depth over prepare and streamline.
