I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Airbnb in May 2019
Interview
Phone interview with Recruiter for 1st interview and then 2nd interview Skype call with hiring manager.
1st Phone Screen with the Recruiter they asked standard 5-7 situational questions. I had a positive experience with the Recruiter, Very professional.
2nd interview the Interviewer asked three situational questions. I had logged on early and I had to wait for them to boot up their computer so they could ask me his pre screen questions.

Question 1
Name a time when you had to be an influencer and how did you do it?
Great, it was comprehensive and straightforward. One of the bigger tech companies so I'm thinking in terms of environmental impact. Will consider my options. I like that they hire liberal-minded, and open-minded people, especially from campaign life. Keep hiring progressives and you will go far in attracting great people and continuing to be profitable.

Question 1
Whats one thing you'd like to change in the world?
The interview process consisted of a 30 minute initial screening with a recruiter, followed by a 30 minute interview with the hiring manager. After those interviews, I was asked to create and present a 45 minute presentation to six people detailing a bit about me, two of my previous projects, and why I wanted to work for Airbnb. After the presentation I met with the individual members of the panel and had 30 minute interviews with each person.
While the interview process itself was admittedly work + time intensive, everyone who I spoke to (for the most part) was respectful and intelligent and the interviews themselves were pleasant. That being said, I never heard if I had received the job or not after my final interview . I sent thank you notes for each interview for her to pass along, as well as 3 separate follow up emails to the recruiter. The last thing I heard was that they were still deliberating and that I would hear the following week. That was 3 months ago.
It's beyond unprofessional to have candidates put that much time and effort into an interview and never have the decency to even tell them if they received the job -- it's inconsiderate and quite frankly rude. My interview experience with Airbnb honestly gave me pause about the company itself.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Airbnb (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Received an email a couple of days after I applied. Scheduled recruiter phone screen which went well, really friendly and well prepared call.
Was moved to HRBP Video interview. Had a good conversation, some repetition of questions but wasn't selected to move on to the full screen.
