Pros
Young, passionate culture with a lot of heart, purposeful and inspiring mission. Amazing leadership team.
Cons
Growing pains of a startup wanting to maintain it's agility, but needing structure and process to support a rapidly ballooning organization. 99% amazing people, but some "managers" lack integrity and capability to manage teams or just have NFI what they are doing - completely unaligned with organizational values.
Advice to Management
Bring in organizational professionals to help optimize structure and processes. Recruit smart Managers with integrity and avoid spineless hires who on paper may have experience in traditional hospitality/travel industries but lack disney imagination.

Pros
- challenging, positive work environment. An awesome work culture with values that are made clear to you through the interview process and beyond to help you "champion the mission" - work flow that fosters team projects and individual work - support for growth and a workplace that caters to both extroverted and introverted personality types from both workplace design to encouraging contribution. - travel opportunities...

Pros
+ Inspiring + Fast paced + Good pay + Great conditions + Travel (depending on type of role)
Cons
This is a toughie. I'd say, a potential negative for some is that it's pretty hard to get a gig here. Jobs don't come up all that often, so make sure your application is spot on.

Pros
Changing the way the world looks at and feels about travel and hospitality. Great culture Fast growing Global platform
Cons
Fast growing - which can have its pitfalls if you can't keep up. It also means that your job is changing as you grow and this might not suit everyone and some folks will find themselves in roles that they are not qualified for and may not feel successful as a result.

Pros
Airbnb is one of the friendliest and happy places I have worked at. Everyone truly makes you feel welcome whenever you get to see them. They've also brought on some world class talent in senior roles that means we are much more focused on where we are headed in the next few years. I really believe that we can do some great things. Its also nice to work at a place where those hosts and guests in our community really...

As with any company growing this size there are still plenty of systems that aren't just in place yet. The company is also getting much larger and so it's easier to walk around and see many faces you don't know. Feels less like a really close family each day. Sometimes you feel like work/life balance doesn't always work.

Pros
Most people are extremely nice and driven at Airbnb. You can really find whatever you are looking for in a team. The tech stack is a priority for the company, which makes the company a great place to work as an engineer. We have tech talks at the office, open source projects, stipends to attend conferences, etc. We encourage novel/optimal technical solutions even when the project may take more time, and we (at...
Show MoreCons
Office politics can be frustrating Designers have too much power and many don't know how to build UX or be on top of projects The quality of engineers is highly variable
Advice to Management
1. Let go of more engineers who aren't meeting expectations - they are difficult to work with and continuing to play nice is a lose-lose situation for both parties involved. It hurts our brand, wastes money, and lowers the quality of our product. I think we also need to revisit our interview process to make it more fair and filter out more low quality engineers. 2. Being kind ("Be a host", etc.) does not need to translate...
