I applied online. I interviewed at Airbnb (Bengaluru) in Oct 2022
Interview
4 rounds were offered- 2 DS/Algo, 1 System Design and 1 Experience Round. Algo/DS and System Design went average but experience round were not satisfactory. I work for a startup and here I have developed few services and manage them on my own. Interviewer started belittling me. I tried to handle the situation but I think that he fixated his thought over somethings
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General DS and Algorithm problems and system design based on related problem to airbnb
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
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.

Question 1
A Leetcode hard problem about maze, which could use BFS to resolve
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.
