Airbnb culture interviews
Passed the tech onsite rounds. There will be a further 2 rounds to cultural tech fit rounds. It seems Airbnb rejects a lot of candidate from these rounds. Any tips? Follow up - Is it a good time to join Airbnb? Even 4/5 years ago they were a great place to be in - heard a lot of good things about their culture. But then they had gained a lot of negative attention due to the covid layoffs. I have around 7 yoe. I am looking for something stable and want to spend (atleast) the next 5-6 yrs of my career at one place. Tc: 60LPA Location: India

How was your rest of rounds? did you end up with offer? also this was for which team?
@aujt30 For what position did you interview? And if would be helpful if you could share your interview experience. Thanks!
How was the core values interview? Can you please share some insight on the nature of the questions asked?
How much Airbnb offers in India for 3-5 YOE?
I had interviewed at Airbnb India last year and could not clear the cultural interviews. From the feedback that the recruiter shared with me, I understood the following things : - First, make sure you understand the Airbnb values mentioned on their website clearly and have relevant examples for each. - When they ask you a question, they expect your answer to highlight the above mentioned principles, even through they do not tell you that explicitly. So make sure all your examples are in line with the values. - Also they ask you how Airbnb achieves or embodies the values or what people like about Airbnb in general. So make sure to go through their website and see recent examples of their work in various parts of the world and understand enough to be able to vomit it back out to the interviewer.
Thanks for the detailed write up - this was really helpful. A couple of questions - 1. Were this done by tech people? or non-tech people? 2. The questions that they ask - are they tech related ? Like the amazon Leadership questions where they ask something like “Tell about a time when you had to disagree with code review comments etc” Or are they completely non tech?
All interviewers are non tech, from all parts of the business, usually based out of the UK. Questions are completely non-tech only.
