I have accepted an offer with Airbnb and I'll be joining soon.

I'm curious what are the industry thoughts around joining Airbnb with the current covid situation? I'm kinda scared about layoffs.

My plan is to join, but keep interview prep fresh in case shit happens.

Would you join now? I love the company and I think they will be here for the long run, just I'm not sure whether they are prepared for another crisis.

    Airbnb cancelled all 2022 intern offers. What a shit load of a company, I hope they shit in pants in a wedding for Fucking with student careers. I hope they crash and their business gets closed. I hope their recruiters get ghosted and live their life on oxygen support. I hope they get boner in a funeral after looking at the dead body.

    OP get a better counter offer and tell your Airbnb recruiter you are not joining because You guys rescinded intern offers, tell them you are not joining a pathetic company.

  • After hearing what they did to their interns, I'm kind of skeptical of their financial situation...

  • Given that Airbnb passionately wants nothing to do with people who look and talk like me … I’m gonna go with … no?

  • I recall some really favorable layoff conditions during COVID, like 6 months salary and stuff like that, look it up

      Although being laid off is an awful predicament, everyone I knew personally that was affected by the layoffs (eng) was back on their feet with just as good of a job a month after, and that fat, fat, severance package.

    Mind sharing interview experience? Are questions directly from leetcode?

      OP
      Yep! Similar style to leetcode. I think any prep guide for the standard process will work out for Airbnb. 2 coding rounds, 1 system design and 1 experience round. After those you get into the cross functional interviews, not technical, just testing cultural fit. Overall pretty good experience! Everyone was friendly and recruiter was awesome.
