There were 6 interviews total:

• 2 technical
• 2 cultural
• 2 functional (showing projects)

There is a lot to be found about Airbnb in general on the internet, so it was easy to be prepared for the cultural interview and understand what they were looking for. I must say I also enjoyed preparing for the technical aspect of the interview, reading about the coding practices at Airbnb, their technical choices, etc.

The interviews proceeded as follows: functional, lunch, technical, functional, cultural, technical, cultural. I was a bit caught off guard by the last cultural interview because, taking lunch into account, I assumed I had completed my 6 interviews.

The technical interviews weren't very difficult. Recruiters were trying to help, like spotting typos rather than watching you fail. I completed the interviews feeling I had solved the problems posed. One involved handling some front-end interaction in JavaScript, and the other was more about objects, context, functions, etc.

The cultural interviews were conversational. I really feel I hit it off on the first one. For the second, I was a bit tired and didn't start so strong, but we had a good talk, though.

The functional interviews involved me showing projects. These were personal projects I was happy with in terms of interest and execution.

In the end, I didn't get an offer and didn't know why. The recruiter delayed in giving an answer and couldn't offer feedback.

That was really disappointing because I don't know where I failed or what I could have done differently.
