Application
I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Airbnb (Bengaluru) in Jun 2021
Interview
When I got an email from the HR about my application, I'd applied so long ago, I'd forgotten I ever did.
The HR was highly unprofessional. Sent an email saying I'll be receiving two HackerRank test links (60 minute tests) but I only got one.
I did great at that - 100% test case completion.
When I wrote back to the HR saying I've completed the test, I got another test link.
My code was able to pass 13/17 test cases for this one.
Followed up with the HR after a week and within 10 minutes of sending the email, got notified via their application portal that I was rejected.

Question 1
HackerRank Round #1 - Halloween Candy (LC Discuss)
HackerRank Round #2 - Find tree within a Binary Tree
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.

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.
