Process

I applied online and received a response the next day. My interview was scheduled a week later. My interviewer began by stating he hadn't looked at my resume and wouldn't ask about my background to ensure a non-biased evaluation. He then pasted the question into an online collaborative code editor and gave me time to read and process it.

I discussed my planned approach, and after 15 minutes, he allowed me to start coding. I admit I took too long to write my code. Approximately 40 minutes later (a total of 55 minutes, exceeding the allotted 45 minutes), he informed me that I had most of the solution but was missing one element.

Finally, he let me ask a few questions about Airbnb. A week later, I received a rejection from the recruiter.
