No egos, great people, understanding management, and a wonderful mission.
Pros
Airbnb is the best place to work for 2 reasons. The product and the people. Travel fundamentally changed my life for the better, and I truly believe that building global empathy can be built on travel and connection. This, in turn, will bring humanity to a better place. I'm ridiculously lucky to contribute to this mission everyday thru my normal job. The people at this company are more humble, more interesting, more curious, and more kind than any other group of people I've ever been a part of. I've built long-lasting relationships with co-workers, and felt incredibly accepted throughout my entire tenure. Grabbing lunch here and meeting someone new everyday is an adventure and a good experience.
Cons
Many times we are victims of hypergrowth. This can internally manifest itself as constantly re-vamping processes, that only work for a short amount of time. Hiring people non-stop is hard anywhere. You have to get them up to speed and make sure they can't damage results.
