I applied online. I interviewed at Airbnb (Austin, TX) in Sep 2016
Interview
An engineer called me and gave me a fairly elaborate problem to work through on a shared coding document. Although I was able to solve it, I definitely struggled. However, he was certainly helpful and willing to answer any questions I had, about the coding question and the company itself. I'm sure someone with more advanced skills could succeed with this process. The recruiter I worked with was extremely nice and efficient/quick to reply.
Other Software Engineer interview reviews for Airbnb
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.
