Airbnb Data Scientist Interview Preparation Guide - Entry Level

Airbnb's Data Scientist interview process consists of a three-stage evaluation designed to assess technical skills, problem-solving abilities, business acumen, and cultural fit. The process begins with a recruiter screen, followed by a technical phone assessment and take-home data analysis challenge. Successful candidates then advance to a virtual onsite consisting of four intensive rounds: live coding, product analytics and A/B testing, machine learning system design, and behavioral interview. The entire process typically takes 4-6 weeks and evaluates candidates on their ability to work with complex datasets, design experiments, build predictive models, and align with Airbnb's mission of creating belonging.
