Airbnb chances

I had my Airbnb on-site today, and it went well except one interview. The interviewer was younger and frequently interrupted me when coding, which hurt my progress a lot. Sometimes I need 30 seconds or a minute to decide what to write. I only completed 60% of the question and indicated how I would finish with more time. My other coding interviewer gave me time to think and I solved his different questions with test cases. I think the architecture and other interviews went very well. My phone interview also went very well and I skipped the second phone interview. I told the recruiter at the end that the one interviewer’s style was different from what I was used to. Any chance of passing despite the bad interview?

I got rejected because I did bad in one interview out of 8

Unlikely. You probably didn’t pass core values, which happen if you ask question like “How does career advancement work here?”

I got rejected cuz I had to goto the bathroom and take a piss and couldn’t get back into the interview room (was waiting around for someone to swipe the door). Lost 10 minutes right there.

I got an offer at Airbnb after knowing for a fact I failed at least one coding interview. Crossing my fingers for you. By the way I’ve learned people are really bad at determining why they didn’t get an offer. When they think they know why, they are almost always wrong.

Dude, Airbnb recruiters tell you why. They are good at providing feedback

My Airbnb recruiter never even followed up with me after the on-site. That’s how I know I got rejected.

I got a soft no on one of my coding rounds and got to do a follow-up one-hr phone screen, which I passed.

Depends on if you are a female or not. Yes they mark that on your profile and hr has a quota to fill.
