I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Airbnb (Los Angeles, CA) in Sept 2018
Interview
Back back interview. Actually, the problems were not that difficult, but I was too nervous and could not find where my bug was. Too sad! I could do much better!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Two questions: 1. Alien Dictionary 2. File system. As for the second question, I was not allowed to use hashMap because it was not space efficient. But instead, use the tree to store the path.
“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.
