I got an invite from a recruiter to attend a network event, which led to a Hacker Rank challenge. Afterwards, I talked on the phone with an engineer for 15 minutes to go over my solution.

Then, I was invited to do two technical Skype interviews. Finally, they flew me on-site for three interviews:

• 1 technical
• 2 "cross functional" interviews

The cross-functional interviews were largely cultural, i.e., would you be a good fit for Airbnb? The cross-functional interviews are not necessarily conducted by other engineers.

Overall, everything was super quick and the recruiters were really personable. The company made a really positive impression on me. Definitely look at the Glassdoor posts below to prepare for interviews – they're very helpful.
