Position: SR SWE 1. Coding: leetcode hard - was able to optimally solve with clean modularize code in 35 mins. Articulated my solution as I made progress. questions to interviewer - 10 mins 2. Code Review: Reviewed 2/3 PRs. Couldn’t get to third. Left around 12 to 15 comments. Some meaningful/corrections, some nits and some as question to clarify the design choice made. 3. Architecture Round: Finished design in 45 mins including answering questions from interviewer regarding specific scenarios. Said the design looks solid. 10 mins - Asked questions to interviewer. Ended 5 mins early. 4. Experience Round: Explained a complex project by justifying the business need and diving deep into few aspects by justifying the technical choices made. answered the questions and follow ups. Took 55 mins with last 5 for questions from me. So would I move to core value round? TC: 315K Update: cleared onsite. Moved to core value round
For those selecting “Run don’t join” can say or dm why not only if comfortable 😊
Best of luck op 🤞
Code review round, seriously? What now we are supposed to prepare 24x7 to crack these interviews. I thought it was system design and LC only.
Honest question: Is the daily work at Airbnb that hard? You're required to do all of this daily basis? Or they make it super hard for interview purposes only?
That’s a valid Q tbh. For example Netflix’s code quality/complexity shows as it functions infinitely better than any other video streaming app. I won’t say Airbnb works that much better than Expedia or whatever.
Team match will be the hardest round
Was the coding round hard question from airbnb tagged questions in leetcode?
Did you hear back?
I was in the same boat. Couldn't get to the third code review. All other rounds were Excellent. Again this is what I think. I was rejected.
Damn! That third one was gigantic. I was going to leave a comment saying refactor to smaller PRs but I did not. Maybe that’s that only review they want from that hahahah who knows! Wish I would have written that
Yeah it's tough. Need 30 mins for the last one alone
