“Three rounds in total. After a short recruiter screen, I had two 45-minute technical coding interviews on Zoom/CoderPad (data structures, algorithms, edge cases, complexity) followed by one 45-minute cross-team values interview focused on collaboration, ownership, communication, and product sense. No heavy system design. All interviews were virtual, interviewers were friendly and left time for questions. The process took about two weeks from scheduling to decision.
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Airbnb (Stanford, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
I applied online. I was contacted by a recruiter about 3 weeks later, asking me to complete a hackerrank challenge. The first step was a coding challenge on hackerrank followed by two back to back phone-screens.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Hackerrank had two questions, the first was an easy warm-up question and the second was a much more involved questions which required use of hashmaps/dictionaries.
For the first phone-screen, I was asked to implement the 8-puzzle from scratch.
For the second phone screen, the question was printing a terrain map given an array of integers representing the heights of the terrain. Afterwards, I was given an array position and and an integer representing a volume of water poured onto the terrain at the given position and asked to print out the terrain along with the water.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Airbnb (Sunnyvale, CA) in Feb 2025
Interview
It was a two-round, 45-minute technical interview. After you pass these two interviews, you will have another two, 45-minute technical interviews, one behavioral and one technical. Expect leetcode medium and hard question
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Airbnb in Oct 2022
Interview
OA then Interview process, Hackerrank with 2 questions but didn't make it to next round due to head count issues. I would say hackerrank is medium to hard level questions.
