Software Engineer New Grad Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington

Process

A recruiter reached out to me after I applied online. The process took about two months.

It started with one phone screen, and I heard back the next day. Then, two back-to-back Skype calls were scheduled about a week later. I heard back that I made it to the next round within the next week.

Next, I went onsite, where I was given two interview questions. I did the interviews on my laptop onsite, and they seemed like classic interview questions. After the two onsite interviews, I had coffee with one of the developers there and got to ask all my questions about the office.

Then, I had two culture interviews where I was asked more classic interview questions from people who worked in other divisions of Airbnb, like marketing and the like.

After about a week, I got an email asking to schedule a phone call. During the call, my recruiter told me that I got the offer.

The offer was honestly more than I could have ever asked for, and the benefits were great. However, the job itself sounded tedious, so I ended up going with another company.

Questions

Write code to solve:

  • Palindrome pairs
  • Matching pairs with similar preferences
  • Implementing a queue
  • So on and so forth.

These were very difficult problems algorithmically. Be sure to listen to the person interviewing you and practice beforehand.
