Pros

Brand Recognition (Airbnb is noun and verb) Asset-light business model Mission driven and long term focused company Founders remain at Company Compensation is relatively high with a good WLB Generally very nice people across the company Strong diversity push and URMs have greater career growth opportunities

Cons

Increased regulation on short term rentals Business is severely impacted by downturns in travel (e.g COVID travel restrictions) Company has outgrown the CEO (seems more suited to a non profit or politics) Immature/weak Leadership and Management for Company of this size Prevalent woke culture (not really a safe space for right leaning ideologies)
