As above
Googles process is waaaay long but Airbnb is a much harder interview because it’s not just functional it’s also very heavy mission and culture interviews. Been through both.
Interesting. What makes the mission and culture interviews tough? I understand that you can't just coast through them, but I assumed you're fine as long as you're reasonably articulate and personable, with a decent grasp of Airbnb's business.
Great question. There is supposedly no write or wrong answer for those and I had 3 of those interviews. They get real deep and sometimes personal in answers. There’s really no way to know how you did on them and/or why they were inclined or not which makes them tough. I just know that they take their mission and values very seriously and those interviews usually trip up what would otherwise be a very qualified and articulate candidate like myself.
Snap was the one hardest
Jane Street and MemSQL
2 sigma
Netflix is the hardest.
Microsoft
Two sigma is hard because even if you pass the morning technical you still don’t know what the afternoon managers want.
Depends a lot on which interviewers you get and which role
I got fucked in my 2s interviews whereas did reasonably well in others.
it is mostly dependent on the level
