I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Airbnb (Los Angeles, CA) in Sep 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.
Good! They gave me a take home challenge which was a leetcode medium. I solved it and passed a few test cases but ran out of time. The recruiter was always good on communication so that was a plus!
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Airbnb (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2017
Interview
One HackerRank coding challenge with leetcode easy/medium level questions. The recruiter reached out to set-up two phone screens.
The two phone screens were leetcode medium level. Interviews went really well, had a great chat with an engineering manager and he asked me expect great news. Got a generic reject after a week.
