Solicité el puesto a través de la recomendación de un empleado. Acudí a una entrevista en Airbnb (San Francisco, CA)
Entrevista
The interviewer gave me a coderpad and did not give me any skeleton code. That's ok, I figured it out after a lot of questions. They were reluctant to engage but I got it out of them. I then suggested a completely acceptable approach which they were quick to shut down because they wanted it done their way. I then worked my way thru their way and ended up running out of time. The interviewer didn't sound like they wanted to be there.
I later coded it up with my approach and it worked perfectly fine. I have not received any updates since the interview, which was a month ago.

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.

Entrevista
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.
