Process

They did a great job selling the culture and mission of Airbnb at an initial info session at my university.

The coding challenge was decently challenging, and I wasn't able to get the last test case to run quickly enough, but I still made it through to the phone screens.

The next step was two back-to-back phone screen/Skype calls with engineers.

They specifically said that "success" depended on having a working coded solution by the end of the 45 minutes, which was pretty tough.

It seemed very geared toward selecting for speed-coding.

Questions

Question about pouring water in a certain location on a "landscape" of different elevations.
