Pros

It's a very creative environment. People are happy to share ideas. I feel empowered to get work done. I am free to manage my own time. I'm surrounded by talented and kind people. I feel like I can make a difference.

Cons

Work/life balance is not resolved and this means I am away from my family too much. Not enough structure or clear process. Feels like we're constantly creating the rules as we go, which is exhausting. Not happy with the hierarchy of my department – doesn't feel like the best or most experienced people are in control.

Pros

Awesome catered food for both breakfast and lunch (they even provide an espresso machine, and classes for you to learn how to use them!) Bring your dog to work (I could finally get a dog!) Work anywhere (couch, desk, floor, whatever) No dress code (and dress up days every few months for fun) Weekly happy hour, special events for holidays Everyone here is super cool to work with All in all this is a great company, and I really enjoyed my time here

Cons

When I first started at Airbnb, I was completely blown away. I felt like I'd been looking for a job like this all my life, and I could finally settle in to my work family environment. It's been a year now, and I don't feel like I belong anymore. Reasons for this: - Yes, you can bring your dog to work, but your name won't exist anymore. Your name will now be your "dog's name + mom/dad" - If you don't like going out all the time, and prefer to do your work and come home, not a good place for you. I'm an introvert at heart, and this is an extrovert workplace. It's expected that you go to happy hours, events, etc. - Your life outside of work is important, until metrics take over. When I first started, I was told my schedule could flex for my commitments outside of work. Now I have to leave early because they are strict with the 1 weekend day schedule. - If you need quiet to get work done, this is not the place for you. You are constantly surrounded by people either on the phones, or socializing, and it can get very loud and distracting.

Pros

Airbnb strongly believes in culture, and it is apparent throughout the entire process of hiring and working here. This place is authentic and values individuality.

Cons

Still navigating start up land so team dependent leadership is still developing
