Pros

I worked with the most amazing, talented, empathetic teammates in the company as Airbnb emphasizes core values greatly in the recruitment process. Even though it is a big company, I had a chance at working on different projects that made my tenure really interesting and provided me with ample challenges to grow and learn. There's opportunities to travel for work too and lots of social activities for the employees. People generally are for each other. The benefits are amazing, and you can work remotes 100% of the time. You can also choose to work in an office.

Cons

Upward and cross-functional mobility is really difficult as much of those opportunities are in Europe and North America. There's not much in APAC. They prefer to hire externally, which is unfortunate for those who have been loyal to the company for a long time.

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.
