Applied through contact. Got a call from recruiter next day and set up the phone interview. During the phone interview, I was given certain requirements and asked to code up a functionality. The interviewer specifically said he wanted me to run the code.
I explained my thought process and my approach but got no feedback from the interviewer. I went ahead and wrote the code, fixed all errors and ran it. I checked with the interviewer if he saw the output and asked him if he wanted me to walk him through it. I believe I solved it correctly but got no feedback. He just copied my code and said he'll check the output later. A day later I got the email that they don't think my background and qualifications match with the position and they have not decided to go ahead with the interview process.
What a waste of my time and what a terrible interview experience. I think some of the other folks on glassdoor have pointed out that Airbnb comes across as snobbish and the interviewers do not interact well. If that/s how they work in day to day life then I guess you are better off not working there,
