Pros
This place is so full of energy, ambition and passion. I love how smart, hard-working and passionate everyone is. Plus they're all great people--who I am happy to call my friends. Airbnb works really hard to ensure culture fit and they do a surprisingly good job. I'm constantly blown away by the talent and personalities around me. Great people. And of course, the work. I feel very lucky to be working on a global platform that helps micro-entrepreneurs and people all over the world feel at home anywhere. It's a really special place and helluva lot of fun.
Cons
Airbnb is still a startup in many ways. While in my eyes it's pretty awesome to be a part of a company that's young, dynamic and rapidly growing, some may find it a bit too crazy. We're still figuring out things as we go, and it's not always clear what the process is and who owns what. It gives those that are proactive and interested in having an impact on how Airbnb does things, a lot of opportunity, but it's admittedly not for everyone. Some may find it a bit chaotic. And yes, a lot of folks work very hard here and work/life balance is a bit low. For me, I love what I do and I don't mind a few late nights.
