Great place to work

Pros

I've worked at other places, but Airbnb is hands-down amazing to work at. Some of my best friends I've made at Airbnb, and it's always fun to come in to work. Our core values help to really allow you to work with people that you like being around. Additionally, everyone really believes in the mission of the company and want to make a difference, so you never feel like a cog in some larger machine. Overall, great place to work.

Cons

It's a growing company, so there will be some growing pains (like communication channels) as the company gets larger.

Pros

- Amazing product. I love working for a company where I believe in the work that I do actually makes the world a better place. - My colleagues are my friends. Truly. I love coming to work and being with these people. - Work Hard, Play Hard. I've never worked so hard in my life (this is not my first job out of college), but I love it! - Amazing food program. - I get work with people from all cultures and backgrounds. The company values diversity. - I can be my true authentic self at work. This inspires me to be the best that I can be. - This company has allowed me to diversify my skill set and grow my resume. I am very fortunate for the opportunities Airbnb has given to me.

Cons

- Compensation could be higher, but it's an amazing company. - Growth and change can be difficult to deal with. - The company is a new company every 6 months (this could be a pro for some).
