I applied online. I interviewed at Airbnb (Bengaluru) in Dec 2022
Interview
One of the worst interview, I have ever experienced. The interviewer was not having knowledge to even understand basic code. They will give you hard level Leet code question which is difficult to complete within 30 min. In that 30 min they want you to dry run code and them write executable code, proper variable name, SRP of every method, a lot more expectations. This is only possible if you remember complete problem code. So I would suggest don't waste your time here, bcz they think they are hiring diamonds where the person who are taking interviews are useless stone.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Airbnb in Feb 2026
Interview
Entrevista muito curta, prevista pra 15min mas acho que nem chegou a isso. Poucas perguntas e pouco espaço para o candidato falar sobre a sua experiência, nem a câmera a recrutadora ligou
1. HR screen
The HR asked about my experience and mentioned that their coding question is very difficult. So, we scheduled the first technical interview for two weeks later.
2. 1st technical interview
Just the coding question, no more self-intro and project dive.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A Leetcode hard problem about maze, which could use BFS to resolve
Got an email from a recruiter 3 months after applying. 45 min coding assessment was the next round. You have to be flawless to pass this stage. I figured out the hardest part of the problem by myself but needed a hint for the other part. Wrote up the entire thing and didn't pass it. So unnatural.
