12 Product Manager interview notes

Airbnb·Product Manager·Onsite - Product Sense / Strategy

Jul 2026
Airbnb PM interview with a product metrics question focused on a business travel feature. Pretty standard format but the question had some depth to it once you started pulling on the threads.
  • Airbnb launched a feature aimed at growing its business travel segment. How would you measure whether it's working?

“I went straight to bookings volume and kind of had to walk myself back from that.”

Behavioral round at Airbnb, one question about navigating friction with a design partner. Short and focused, nothing too wild.
  • Describe a time you had a difficult working relationship with a design counterpart and how you handled it.

“I had a story ready but it felt a bit thin by the end.”

Interviewed at Airbnb for a product role and got hit with a pretty open-ended strategy question about building something from zero. Not a lot of context to work with, which made it harder than it sounds.
  • How would you define and execute a product strategy for launching something entirely from scratch?

“I fumbled the opening because I tried to jump straight into frameworks instead of anchoring on the problem first.”

Apr 2026
PM interview at Airbnb, got a product metrics question about a feature on a completely different platform which was a bit of an odd choice but not uncommon for these rounds.
  • How would you measure the success of a search bar on an online learning platform like EdX?

“I blanked for a second because the product wasn't Airbnb at all, which threw me.”

  • How would you grow Airbnb's new user base by 3x?

“This is the kind of question that sounds straightforward until you're actually in it.”
