      Ok perks and looks great on your resume

      Anonymous employee

      Pros

      Perks are ok. Free breakfast, lunch, and dinner. However, the food options are not varied and dietary restrictions / allergies are not taken into account. You also receive a quarterly $500 travel "coupon" to use towards an Airbnb listing. The people that work here are extremely friendly and it truly is more like having a second family than having "co-workers".

      Cons

      Compensation is NOT competitive and raises (or even cost of living increases) are few and far between. Positions that warrant a salary of $120,000 at other bay area tech startups, only receive about $60,000 at Airbnb. Many people (including myself) have had to take a significant pay cut. Essentially this means that Airbnb is not good for the long term, but alternatively is a great short term option to buff up your resume. Working at Airbnb is pretty much like belonging to a cult. If you don't fit it (introverts specifically) you will not succeed. Promotions are not given to the people that are the best fit for the position, but are given to the person that spends the most time socializing outside of work. Also, work life balance is practically non-existent.

      Great Company

      Pros

      - Well taken care - Insurance is paid in full - food and other perks - great coworkers and management - dogs allowed in office - comfortable atmosphere to work - free education resources (online) and career development resources (these are fairly new I believe)

      Cons

      I don't have a lot of personal Cons myself, but some that I have heard. - Partial weekend shifts (personally I prefer to work one weekend day) - Dogs allowed in office (again, I love dogs, but some folks don't or have allergies) - work processes can change often to adapt to product needs. This is a good thing, but some folks prefer a much more static workflow. All a matter of preference.

      A Magical, Challenging, Ongoing Party with Some of the Best People in the World

      Pros

      My favorite part about working at Airbnb is the dedication of the founders. They are often here before me or working later than anyone in the office. Coming from another start up where the founders were constantly traveling or just MIA, this dedication speaks volumes about the overall energy in Airbnb. The founders show a genuine wonder at the company they've built, and that humble attitude translates into an incredible work environment. The culture and core values are actively embraced by everyone. I would look forward to grabbing lunch or happy hour with any single coworker. As a rapid growth company, the work is challenging but rewarding. You will impact the company with the work that you do.

      Cons

      This is not a company that hands out gold stars. Everyone works hard, and they expect and trust others to work hard. You are not micromanaged, which is a Pro in my book. If you're someone that needs your responsibilities and goals spelled out, this is not the environment for you.
