I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Airbnb in Oct 2018
Interview
The interview process consisted of two back to back technical interviews with one question each followed by a cross-functional (like behavioral) interview after passing that round. The technical interviews were conducted by engineers and the cross-functional review can be conducted by someone in any role, including ones outside of the role you are applying to.

I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Airbnb (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2018
Interview
I applied through a university recruiter. I received an online assessment a week after and it was a medium level HackerRank question. After that, I got two back to back technical interviews on Skype. The first one was medium level, but the second one was hard. I would recommend people spend more time on graph theories and searching/traversal algorithms. I did not get to the last round, but the overall experience was great.
