Pros

Most people are extremely nice and driven at Airbnb. You can really find whatever you are looking for in a team. The tech stack is a priority for the company, which makes the company a great place to work as an engineer. We have tech talks at the office, open source projects, stipends to attend conferences, etc. We encourage novel/optimal technical solutions even when the project may take more time, and we (at least recently) are trying to build with the long term in mind.

Cons

Office politics can be frustrating Designers have too much power and many don't know how to build UX or be on top of projects The quality of engineers is highly variable

Pros

Good business. Beautiful office. Good work-life balance. Competitive compensation. Some 401k match. Overall nice people.

Cons

Rather political environment - it seems to me that making "friends" and pleasing your manager is more important than doing solid work. Fake and hypocritical. I feel they don't practice what they preach. Another complaint I have is on the engineering side. There are many talented engineers hired from top schools and FB/GOOG/AMZN/LNKD/MSFT, but miraculously the quality of Airbnb's engineering is not that good, as you can tell from how slow the website and the app are even today. Again, this probably is related to the culture of the company.
