I went through a couple of "sort-of interviews" before the final onsite interview. I first met with the design director and a lead designer casually at an event during an industry conference. Both were incredibly kind and made me feel very comfortable. A week or so later, I met with two designers and a recruiter at the campus where I showed some work and had more casual conversation. Finally, I had a more formal portfolio review on campus followed by some one-on-one interviews with various designers, design managers, PMs, Customer Service reps, etc. This entire process felt very seamless. The recruiters were incredibly diligent in following up, the designers were very informal but always asked very relevant questions, the non-designers provided great insight into metrics, how product teams work, etc. Overall, it was a very enjoyable interviewing process and I knew afterwards that I definitely wanted in if they were to make an offer. The culture of Airbnb is very apparent in the way they interview candidates.

Great, they made the entire process seamless and got back with an offer fast. Lots of rounds but they chunk it out and give breaks. No take home challenge. All the interviewers had specific areas to ask questions in.
