I was a referred candidate. The whole process was quick; from initial conversation to receiving an offer took less than a month. I took a few weeks to compare other offers and was never rushed into making a decision.

I enjoyed the interviews at Airtable more than I enjoyed mine at several other places, including FAANG and other companies of similar size.

Interviewers were polite and wanted to have a conversation. It felt more like exchanging ideas, as opposed to being interrogated on a strict rubric.

Per company policy, they do not negotiate compensation (really). It wasn't an issue for me because they made a very competitive offer. It was a much better experience than getting low-balled and having to negotiate with competing offers.

I didn't find the interview questions too hard. However, they were high-signal because they focused on real and relevant problems.

The coding challenges were not LeetCode-style. I had to solve simplified versions of real problems that they dealt with, in both the coding and design interviews.
