I applied online and was quickly sent a link to complete a video interview. A few days later I was emailed that the position had been filled. Two months later I was contacted, via email, with a request for a phone interview that was scheduled for the following week. The phone interview was fairly thorough in asking a lot of experience questions, as well as letting me know about the company. Honestly, one of the better phone interviews I have experienced, based on the interviewer's intelligent questions and mix of professionalism and candor. The call ended with me feeling like I might really fit the position and company culture. I was contacted the next day to come in later that week for an in-person interview with 5 interviewers: two would-be peers, two would-be seniors, and HR. This is when things became obvious that none of them were actually interested in me. They seemed to be going through the motions because they had to, not because they cared which kind of threw me off, coming from my previous impressions of the company; they were stoic and clearly coming up with questions at random. Out of the five people who interviewed me, only one had actually seen my resume and none of them had any knowledge of my video or phone interviews. Two of them were somewhat friendly, two of them made it clear that I was wasting their time (one of whom was clearly shocked and possibly appalled that I didn't get there through a current employee referral), and one of them seemed incredibly nervous, somewhat negative about the job, and acted like she had never done an interview in her life. I knew after my first interview that there was no way I was getting the job. I was told when I arrived for the interview that the recruiter (Airbnb employee) would check in on me throughout the process and would meet with me at the end to go over more details of the job. However, I never saw here again and I was escorted out of the building by the last interviewer who just said the other person must be busy. I was there for about three hours. Three days later I received my "the hiring team doesn’t feel that you are a fit for this role" email. Other things to note - In between interviews I left the room to use the restroom. There were two co-ed restrooms and a long line. Everyone in line was super friendly and starting talking with me. They were open about the company and seemed genuinely interested in me. It was a nice change from the odd un-comfortableness of the interview process. When I went back to the interview room, two random people had taken seats that the table and were working. Eventually one of them started talking to me and was super nice and tried to give me some tips about the people interviewing me. Then my next interviewer came in and they left. It was somewhat comical.

Long, mostly. It took over a week for the Recruiter to come back to me after each interview session, there was 8 interviews in total. Everyone I met was lovely though and nice to chat to.
