Pros

There are lots of opportunities for professional development since the company's growth is exponential. The company encourages "thinking outside the box", which allows you use your creative juices. The environment is intense and fast-paced, which makes you feel like you're part of a movement. Like most start-ups, Airbnb embraces a good work/life balance.

Cons

Airbnb is evolving and changing so quickly that people who can't adapt to "flying by the seat of their pants" don't seem to thrive. With such rapid change, there is little formalization of policies and processes.

Pros

Working for Airbnb is challenging, stimulating, and makes you feel like you are a part of something that is growing and changing every day, constantly evolving and moving forward. I love that! My team is incredibly supportive of one another, and takes the time to both provide helpful/constructive feedback, and also genuine appreciation/recognition on a regular basis. The perks/benefits/food are wonderful, and I also love the physical office space: can't believe I get to go there every day! Basically, this company gives you the opportunity to have a real voice and a real impact, no matter what your job title. Airbnb has also been intentional and careful about maintaining it's unique culture, and hiring people that are not only technically very skilled, but are also good human beings all around.

Cons

At least on my team, we are still working out the kinks in our processes and trying to keep up with the rapid growth. Things that used to work on a smaller scale have become a bit unwieldy, and so on top of our regular work, we are trying to update our workflow/processes. Sometimes I just wish there were more hours in the day! On the other hand, this gives us an opportunity to have a real impact on the way the department operates, which is cool!
