It includes: - [Expert guide](https://www.aced.io/guides/airbnb-product-manager-interview) - [3 interview experiences](https://www.aced.io/guides/airbnb-product-manager-interview/experiences) - [23 questions](https://www.aced.io/guides/airbnb-product-manager-interview/questions) - [5 resumes](https://www.aced.io/guides/airbnb-product-manager-interview/resumes) ## Interview process The candidate described the process as well-defined, but said the goals of each round were vague and ambiguous. The recruiter could not provide detailed guidance about preparation or what to expect in each interview. The process consisted of: 1. Recruiter screen 2. Phone interview 3. Take-home project 4. Technical interview ## Interview rounds There were **7 questions across 4 rounds**. ### Recruiter screen — 2 questions **Question type:** [Behavioral](https://www.aced.io/questions?type=behavioral) Specific questions included: - [Why do you want to work at Airbnb?](https://www.aced.io/questions/372) - [Tell me about your experience in consumer product management.](https://www.aced.io/questions/7319) ### Phone interview — 3 questions The available preview describes a 45-minute conversation with a senior interviewer. It was mostly open-ended, included a short follow-up near the end, and involved substantial pushback on tradeoffs. Question shown in the preview: > How would you improve a product you use every day for a new market? The candidate’s approach was to select and size a segment, compare three options, then choose one option and define its success metric. ### Take-home project The accessible preview repeats a 45-minute senior-interviewer format and the same product-improvement question and response shown for the phone interview. The remaining interview content is restricted. ### Technical interview The accessible preview repeats a 45-minute senior-interviewer format and the same product-improvement question and response shown for the phone interview. The remaining interview content is restricted. ## Interview tips The candidate recommended practicing aloud with a timer, keeping a framework ready for every round, and asking the recruiter what each interviewer focuses on so examples can be tailored accordingly. ## Company culture The candidate described the interviewers as collaborative and said they repeatedly redirected discussion toward the user. The team appeared to value structured thinking over polish, and interviewers left time for questions at the end. ## Membership and contribution access The full interview is part of our library of **1.8k+ interview experiences**, with new experiences added weekly.
