Pros

Besides salary and benefits Amazing severance package when they ask you to leave

Cons

1. Firing tenured employees based on irrelevant performance issues. No or ridiculous performance plans where you cannot meet the targets. 2. Creating a toxic work culture where only people who are in “good books” of leadership are promoted. 3. Leadership in India who have multiple failed projects are promoted while hard working individuals are literally left in the dumps. 4. Leadership protects people they have hired from their previous organisations while sidelining tenured employees. 5. The core values are just for name sake. Fake it and you will make it.

Pros

Airbnb's mission of creating a world where anyone can belong anywhere strongly resonates with me. I'm excited by the opportunity to build products that operate at global scale and directly impact millions of users. My background in full-stack engineering, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and AI-powered applications aligns well with Airbnb's focus on innovation, reliability, and exceptional user experiences. I am particularly attracted to Airbnb's engineering culture, emphasis on ownership, and commitment to solving complex technical challenges while delivering meaningful value to hosts, guests, and communities worldwide.

Cons

One challenge of working at Airbnb is the complexity that comes with operating a global platform at scale. Engineering teams must balance reliability, performance, compliance, and user experience across many markets and stakeholders. While this can make development and decision-making more complex, it is also one of the aspects that makes the work technically interesting and professionally rewarding.
