I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Airbnb (India, MS) in Aug 2021
Interview
One of the most terrible experience I had in my entire carrier till date. Process is not at all streamlined. It took more than a month for the entire process. They will cancel your scheduled interview last minute without informing you. I had an incident where as in I got a reminder call from HR that your interview is scheduled at this time and after 20 mins I am getting a invite cancellation email just before the interview this is one incident we can expect that to happen with anybody last minute emergency but this was not the only one I had these almost similar kind of experience where they will schedule first and then cancel and then again reschedule. They will test your patience to the next level and when you ask the interview about the role you were getting interviewed different panel will tell different and HR will get some different Job description. They themselves are not sure for which position they are hiring for.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Airbnb (Bengaluru) in Aug 2023
Interview
First there was a telephonic HR round: Asked me about my previous work experience, why i'm changing companies, salary expectations, current salary etc. Then she told me there will be 6 rounds including the HR one. Next one would be a SQL hackerrank test with medium to hard leetcode questions and MCQs. I scored full marks in the coding test. After that i had a technical interview with the analytics head of the community support team ( the team i was supposed to join). The interview was supposed to be of one hour. He asked me 4 questions on SQL and 5 questions on Python ( these were quite simple definations of functions ). then i solved 2 SQL questions and 20 mins were left for the interview to be over but the guy said he needs to go on to another meeting and said my performance was satisfactory and i need not solve the other 2 SQL questions. Post this i got an email that i was REJECTED from the processs as i was "unqualified" for the postion.
