Pros

-Flexibility to work from home (this might vary depending on your manager) -Free catered breakfast and lunches (buffet style/bentos/usually extremely healthy food fyi) -Skill development courses are available -Healthcare benefits (reduced to 80% but still a benefit) -Trying real hard to be recognised as a tech company (ground control staff try their best to make the office as tech-like as possible)

Cons

-Poor leadership (young managers who have no experience to lead a team) -Favouritism is largely seen for promotions (no KPI given for core work in an operations team) -High level of after work hours bonding -Lack of transparency (random selection for project roles, no visibility on major projects, feedback is not advised)

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.
