The recruiting team seems very understaffed and overworked. When I was interviewing, it took them almost two weeks to get back to me after the technical screen and virtual onsite. The recruiter also didn't seem to respect my time, often calling me without any warning with important information while I was not available.
They were also extremely unresponsive to my emails/messages. Airbnb was my first choice when I started interviewing, and it took such a long time that I found out about another compelling opportunity and took that instead.
That being said, the interviews themselves were of average difficulty. The company outlook seems good, and the engineers there seem great to work with.
