Airbnb Reviews

Pros

Incredible office spaces, pride in working for a really cool company, Mission and Value-driven Executive Leadership, Very good technology infrastructure and employee technical support infra, work from home flexibility, Ambitious and motivated co-workers

Cons

As I said, this should have been my Dream Job... unfortunately, middle management on my team was so destructive that I had no choice but to move on. Hyper growth on the Vacation Rentals/Hotels team led to people being advanced into People Management who were not only unqualified but actively DISLIKED managing people. How this manifested: - Toxic work environment, including managers and directs openly bashing other employees, clients and partner businesses. - Creating environments of exclusion based on popularity and who knows who outside of work. - Gatekeeping of critical information from the top down, disrupting and discouraging career development and the free-flow of creativity and innovation. - Lack of career development or sales training - Dishonesty from upper management and middle management about the organizational changes coming up, causing employees to waste time not looking into their other career options. Regarding compensation - there are dozens of employees responsible for bringing on new accounts and growing existing accounts, however there is no pay structure that rewards employees for doing such. It's all base pay and no bonus and no incentive to be successful financially. Although leaving Airbnb was a difficult decision, I am confident it was the best for now given the severely negative updates I receive from my former colleagues. Hopefully someday the upper and middle management of the VR/Hotel organization will work through these issues and find a more functional and productive work environment for people to thrive in.

Pros

Amazing Work Culture across CS & GSS

Cons

Nothing to recommend , as overall good work

Pros

Good benefit, good pay, but no different than other top tech companies.

Cons

Most of the managers are extremely young and the company does not invest in training managers to be a good people leader. Worst of all, during our most recent global team meeting, someone asked if a good people manager means one who takes time and effort to grow each team member, our senior leader said it means to do whatever it takes to hit the target!
