      Software Engineer Interview

      Sep 24, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Airbnb

      Interview

      Live coding. Four rounds. Two seperate rounds for 45 minutes. Last round two hours - two 45 minutes interviews back to back. They called me and expected me to be ready within a couple of days. They were not flexible at all with interviews and expected you to be ready at their command. Got to the last round and was rejected with no explenation as to why. Perfect example of showing that bigger companies only make their interviews accesible to those that do not have to work and are from elite schools. I was working and going to school. Despite knowing this they were not flexible at all. Each interview was a couple of days away from each other not giving me enough time to recuperate or study. I had great interviews in all four rounds but they rejected me with no reason after weeks of sacrifice. Not worth your mental health.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Airbnb

      Interview

      Pretty standard engineering interview. Recruiter call, technical interview, system design. They also had a code review interview that I had never seen before. I thought it was a little trickier than average, but not horrible. Sucks that if you don't move to the next round you can't reapply for a year.

      Tell me about the tech stack you've worked with before
