      No Work Life Balance in IT

      Anonymous employee

      Pros

      Compensations & Benefits Location Well known company

      Cons

      If you want a life outside of work this is not the place for you. You will be pressured to constantly go above and beyond working nights and weekends. There will be zero appreciation or recognition of this work. Really sub par middle managers from Google are all only hiring their former employees and are building their own little kingdoms within airbnb. They mock the culture and are no way a part of it. They are also extreamly political and vindictive so do not question them unless you want to be punished by having your career stalled. This is especially true here in the Dublin office.

      Great Engineering Culture, Great Talent, Tons of Potential

      Pros

      - They're doing a great job at bringing in engineering talent to shore up their infrastructure. Over the last 6 months, they've brought in top talent from companies like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Google. It really shows when you see what's planned for the next year. - Some great tooling. The development environments leave something to be desired, but their core infrastructure (esp. some of the backend services) is really impressive. Tons of companies in SV are using many of the tools Airbnb has open sourced and this is only a fraction of what's been built. - They're aware of technical debt. Current stack is very ruby heavy and monolithic and they're migrating to well-defined java/scala microservices which is great. - Very little red tape to actually deploying code. - The culture is a thing. If you're a "gilfoyle" you'll probably hate it here. Thankfully, they do a good job at bringing in people that actually want to be there and care about the product. - Food is amazing. Better than Facebook. Also great benefits and fantastic compensation if you're on the more experienced side. - Massive potential. The exec team is focusing on the right projects to get to a point where we can IPO. We're not quite there yet, but it's an exciting time to be here. - They actually care about their customers. - Brand new hardware - Epic office. This place is an interior design marvel. - Health insurance, etc. are excellent. - You can pick your team as an engineer! This leads to better chemistry and keeps all teams focused on making themselves appealing.

      Cons

      - Last year or so they promoted some people to management that really need more training. So on some teams, you're not going to have a great time. - If you're not an engineer, YMMV. I've heard the food team, facilities, etc. is largely being phased out for contractors. - Tiny 401k match. But this should probably change when they IPO. - You really have to carve out your own path here. If you want a clear progression this is not the place for you.

      Pros

      Free Food and Drink Good People Nice Office Space 2K Coupon to use on Site Job itself is fine Birthday Day off Days off at Christmas Opportunities to Travel

      Cons

      The office has changed completely over the last number of years A proper Dog Eat Dog environment Execs hired from Google and Facebook etc have destroyed what culture and atmosphere there was. No trust is shown from senior management and most are fake Lots of talk about wanting to improve things but nothing ever comes to pass Leads try their best but are stuck between a rock and a hard place I would have left a long time ago if it wasn't for the support of my lead Lots of people have left this year and a lot more to come Golden circle environment also and lots of favouritism shown to a select few
