Engineer Interview Experience - United States

June 14, 2023

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I had a total of 8 interviews, each ranging from 30-60 minutes.

I also completed a take-home coding challenge that took 1-3 hours.

Airtable seemed to have a bank of questions they could ask from. However, the majority of them were re-asked in each interview. Most of my interviews felt like they were covering the same material with a different person.

Solid pay/WLB and unique product eng opportunities

Pros: Great pay and work-life balance, and some really smart and talented colleagues. At Airtable, we get to encounter some unique and, honestly, quite fun product challenges (e.g., "how much customization should we support with features and which use cases are we choosing to address with it?"). As an engineer, you get to play a huge role in how we go about solving them. We have some really talented PMs and Designers to work with, but the technical nature of the product lends itself rather well for engineers to support and even drive product direction. If you enjoy product thinking and/or talking to passionate customers, product engineering at Airtable is likely a good fit.

Cons: The product is very complex and can take some time to ramp up on. The fact that it is a platform for building apps supportive of any industry/vertical can make it a challenge to understand the use cases and really grok customer pain points until you get a chance to see how the product is used first-hand.
