The process took almost 6 weeks from start to finish. The recruiter was professional, friendly and helpful. After an initial phone screening, the team reviewed my portfolio, then gave me a design challenge. A senior designer reviewed my challenge, and we had a 1 hour phone conversation. Then I proceeded to the last and final round of an in-person interview which opened with case study presentation and moved into one-on-one interviews.

After a long, needlessly drawn out interview process, I was essentially ghosted. I sent 2 polite follow ups over the course of 3 weeks. Each time the recruiter replied with a vague promise to follow up soon, but never did. My takeaway is that Airbnb does not respect the time and effort recruits put into their interview process.
