Me postulé a través de un reclutador. Acudí a una entrevista en Airbnb (Seattle, WA) en jul 2017
Entrevista
It seems the hiring process is very strict and weird. I had a telephonic interview for 45 minuted. The interviewer did not ask me any question about my background and directly jumped to the coding question. They use coderpad for the interview. The question was of medium difficult and I was able to provide a correct and runnable code in the end. But I think they were expecting a quicker and perfect answer. The interviewer was rude too. He said are you sure you work in Java because you have not indented your code properly everywhere. I was shocked as I think it is not possible to indent your code perfectly in 45 min and anyways who do it on their own nowadays when you have pretty good IDE

Entrevista
Entrevista muito curta, prevista pra 15min mas acho que nem chegou a isso. Poucas perguntas e pouco espaço para o candidato falar sobre a sua experiência, nem a câmera a recrutadora ligou
1. HR screen
The HR asked about my experience and mentioned that their coding question is very difficult. So, we scheduled the first technical interview for two weeks later.
2. 1st technical interview
Just the coding question, no more self-intro and project dive.

Got an email from a recruiter 3 months after applying. 45 min coding assessment was the next round. You have to be flawless to pass this stage. I figured out the hardest part of the problem by myself but needed a hint for the other part. Wrote up the entire thing and didn't pass it. So unnatural.
