Process
I was contacted by an external recruiter and then referred to an internal recruiter at Airbnb.
I had two phone interviews, but no one showed up for either of them. This was followed up by apologetic emails and requests to reschedule, but more than once? I don't think so.
This was super unprofessional, regardless of whether the company is in startup mode and unable to manage its schedule adequately.

Lots of nice people at the company.Cons: The post-IPO version of Airbnb has a fake corporate culture. Long-term employees love the place, but senior management really doesn't care about their belonging and culture. They refuse to address problems properly, leaving people to burn out and quit.
