Pros

- Being able to identify and own impact on high leverage projects that continuously expand and evolve. - Working with amazingly talented people gives ample opportunities for learning and peer effects. - Great benefits (3 healthy meals a day + drinks/snacks, travel credits, PTO for volunteering)

Cons

- The work can be challenging at times. Because many issues will be new, there will be no one who can give meaningful help, and you will need to solve many things on your own. - It can sometimes be hard to concentrate in an open workspace

Pros

I'm a software engineer that previously worked at Facebook. I can definitely say that the work here is more exciting than my previous company. Airbnb is a much smaller company and each engineer plays a large role in the impact of the company. I enjoy the company culture and you'll feel a ton of energy in the office. We move fast and are always making big changes to our product. As a engineer here, you get a lot of say over how the product is designed and control on what projects you want to work on.

Cons

The benefits are great but the perks can not match Facebook. We don't have a large campus, no gym, small food selection and no shuttle busses.

Pros

Airbnb is the best place to work for 2 reasons. The product and the people. Travel fundamentally changed my life for the better, and I truly believe that building global empathy can be built on travel and connection. This, in turn, will bring humanity to a better place. I'm ridiculously lucky to contribute to this mission everyday thru my normal job. The people at this company are more humble, more interesting, more curious, and more kind than any other group of people I've ever been a part of. I've built long-lasting relationships with co-workers, and felt incredibly accepted throughout my entire tenure. Grabbing lunch here and meeting someone new everyday is an adventure and a good experience.

Cons

Many times we are victims of hypergrowth. This can internally manifest itself as constantly re-vamping processes, that only work for a short amount of time. Hiring people non-stop is hard anywhere. You have to get them up to speed and make sure they can't damage results.
