I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Airbnb in Sept 2015
Interview
I applied online via their website. Just the usual resume submission with LinkedIn and GitHub as optional add ins as well. Unfortunately, I was rejected pretty quickly within a week. I did have some project experience, but I do believe a lack of industry experience was the primary reason for rejection.
I applied online. I interviewed at Airbnb (New York, NY) in Feb 2025
Interview
Quite a lengthy process (4 rounds), but it was very well communicated and managed by HR over the 4/5 weeks of interviews and the questions themselves were relatively straightforward including behavioral questions, interest in the role and area, experience-based questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Which core value of Airbnb do you resonate the most with, and why?
Recruited. Phone screen. Multiple rounds or interviews with friendly people. Asked a lot of STAR and behavioral questions. Long waiting time. Got an offer, but turned it down as the waiting time was too long.

Question 1
Is there anything that you thought you couldn’t accomplish but did?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Airbnb (Los Angeles, CA) in May 2024
Interview
Multiple interviews. Five in total with the recruiter and members of different departments. The interviews felt like casual conversations as they try to get a feel of your vibe. They also work with you to decide how your previous skills best benefit the company and which department would be most mutually advantageous.
