Airbnb Industry Coding Assessment (SWE): Reached Level 4 | What to Expect Next?

Hi everyone,

I recently took the Airbnb Industry Coding Assessment for the Software Engineer role and reached Level 4. I attempted Level 4 but didn't fully finish.

I submitted a few days ago and I'm still waiting for the interview call.

What I've gathered so far

This comes from public interview reports, and I can't confirm how it applies to my case:

• People describe a loop that can include recruiter contact, a technical screen, coding, system design, a deep dive into previous work, a core-values conversation, and pull-request review. The exact mix varies by candidate and level.
• One source says the onsite usually has four to six rounds, including two to three technical interviews.

My questions

1. How long did you wait between finishing the assessment and hearing back, whether the answer was yes or no?
2. If you moved forward, what was the next step: a recruiter call, a technical phone screen, or straight to the onsite?
3. Does the number of levels completed seem to affect whether you advance, or does the overall solution quality matter more?
4. What should I start preparing now for the later rounds: coding, system design, and the values or behavioral round?

I'll update this post when I hear back so it helps the next person. Thanks in advance!
