Pros

We have lots time to just hang and salary is great and when we make a mistake they say do not worry there will be lots of net suckers tomorrow

Cons

We have only a small chance of actually be promoted and you have to listen to all those stupid people

Great company to work for, but still some kinks

Pros

Awesome benefits and employee experience initiatives that evolve as the company grows.

Cons

Leadership is stratified, not streamlined. It's hard to feel confident that moving forward with a new initiative is actually approved, even after leadership approval.

Pros

Amazing people, great culture, lots of opportunities to learn and be exposed to different aspects of the company. Brian, Joe and Nate (co-founders) make themselves super accessible given their workload and I've learned so much from the regular (bi-weekly) talks they do. I remember reading a glassdoor post before I took the job, which described working at Airbnb as "life changing, in a good way." I couldn't agree more!

Cons

No 401k matching and almost no financial assistance for education. :( Of course, it always comes down to your boss and team. I have a 5-star amazing one, but I have a few friends in the company who haven't been so lucky in terms of their managers. Most managers are strong, but because the company's grown so fast I think there are a few people in management positions that aren't right for them or that they don't have experience with. Again though, this has impacted a small number of the many people I know at the company.
