I interviewed at Airbnb

Interview

Thank you for the opportunity. However, from the beginning of the interview, I felt that the manager had already made up her mind about me. Her demeanor suggested she was unimpressed. It's unexpected, especially for the hospitality industry!

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Airbnb (Sacramento, CA) in Sept 2023

Interview

Very easy going, although I did over prepare. Asked very standard questions. It’s for a contract role with the possibility of extending. The interview was set for the afternoon, the Manager called on time. Everything was pretty straightforward.

What people are saying about Airbnb

Airbnb

After reading all these posts about people being offered so much money! I feel, I'm in a wrong place, a wrong company or I've some skill sets which are either useless or worth very less! I work at Airbnb as a claims specialist on 5 lpa fixed and incentives upto 20k per month? Isn't that too low? I've a total work experience of more than 4 years. What do I do to make more money! I can work with any company, without second thoughts, just need the offers to be higher than 8-9 lpa, I deserve this!!

Interview

Very disappointing. Such a big company, which involved you in three interviews but didn't give you any final feedback and left you without any communication, even though you've tried to contact the recruiter over mail or LinkedIn.

Interview

Very lengthy process including 3 almost identical coding screens using Hackerrank. I got to the final round, and had 4 panel interviews scheduled, but after the first 2 I was emailed and told that due to an overabundance of candidates, they would be cancelling all future interviews. I was given zero feedback on the many interviews I already completed, and am left wondering what might have happened had my recruiter scheduled my interviews quicker (waited several weeks for availability). Overall it was handled really unprofessionally.

Interview Questions
  • Pretty standard coding questions, equivalent to LC medium/hard. I didn't always arrive at the final answer and was still put through to the next round, so it seems they care more about thinking process.

I interviewed at Airbnb

Interview

2 manager/directors, 1 technical interview(SQL) and 1 core value interview. Mostly questions about my background and why I want the role at Airbnb. The technical was not hard but the time was limited. However, the recruiter wanted to see my approach rather than the correct queries.

Interview Questions
  • What is a problem that I solved in a very unique way? How did I solve it?

I interviewed at Airbnb (San Francisco, CA)

Interview

It was a quick process, initial phone call and then going into the office to do a sit-down interview and quick tour. Did not get offered any food or freebies, pretty relaxed and informal environment.

Interview Questions
  • Behavioral and experience questions - not much questions on culture or personality fit

I applied online. I interviewed at Airbnb (Singapore) in Aug 2023

Interview

I only had one round of interview. From the supervisor’s expression, I felt she would definitely reject me. She didn’t seem impressed at all. Such behavior is unexpected in the hospitality industry. They should at least learn to smile more. I’m never going to apply there again. Disappointed

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Airbnb (Bengaluru) in Aug 2023

Interview

First there was a telephonic HR round: Asked me about my previous work experience, why i'm changing companies, salary expectations, current salary etc. Then she told me there will be 6 rounds including the HR one. Next one would be a SQL hackerrank test with medium to hard leetcode questions and MCQs. I scored full marks in the coding test. After that i had a technical interview with the analytics head of the community support team ( the team i was supposed to join). The interview was supposed to be of one hour. He asked me 4 questions on SQL and 5 questions on Python ( these were quite simple definations of functions ). then i solved 2 SQL questions and 20 mins were left for the interview to be over but the guy said he needs to go on to another meeting and said my performance was satisfactory and i need not solve the other 2 SQL questions. Post this i got an email that i was REJECTED from the processs as i was "unqualified" for the postion.

Interview Questions
  • What was the current project i was working on the present/previous company i was working for. What all technologies did i use. What was my Day to Day BAU. What kind of statistical tests did i use in my A/B testing (z-test vs p-test etc) .
