I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Airbnb (Cambridge, MA) in Dec 2014
Interview
I had an initial phone screen interview, followed by a Skype interview, which was 2 technical followed by 2 culture fit interviews. The technical questions were rather typical, but still very fun. All the interviewers were very pleasant to speak to. I had a great experience with the recruiters, who were all very friendly. The culture fit interviews were super fun!
After I got an offer, the recruiting team sent me a vegan, gluten-free, chocolate pie, and it was *delicious*. :-)
Pretty standard engineering interview. Recruiter call, technical interview, system design. They also had a code review interview that I had never seen before. I thought it was a little trickier than average, but not horrible. Sucks that if you don't move to the next round you can't reapply for a year.
