Airbnb
Practical, not LeetCode: frontend screens are build-this-widget or implement-this-class prompts in a live editor, and the interviewer keeps adding requirements until time runs out. Clarifying questions, a stated plan, and self-tested code are scored explicitly, alongside a pairing-style onsite and dedicated core-values interviews.
Typical loop
- 1Recruiter screen
- 2Technical screen: 45 min on Zoom + CodeSignal with a Web Engineering interviewer — React or vanilla JS, one prompt with incremental feature adds
- 3Sometimes a second technical screen, DSA-flavored
- 4Onsite: pairing-style coding round in the same grow-the-prompt style
- 5Architecture round (frontend system design — a chat app, a typeahead widget)
- 6Two core-values interviews
