I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Airbnb (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2016
Interview
Very quick process, though only made it thru second round. Communicated directly with HR, who also coached for the next round of interviews about what to expect. Everyone was very casual and friendly.

Question 1
If you have an engineering team to support your work, how would you use them?
Overall, good experience as everyone involved in the interviewing process was very nice.
But to be honest, the process was way too long. I had to go through 9 interviews to get an offer: 1 phone screening with an HR, 3 onsite interviews and 5 Skype interviews (2 of them were dedicated to cultural fit) + in the end they asked for 2 referrals whom they called.
Entire process took almost 2 months.
