Pros
The data scientists at Airbnb are the best out there. Incredibly smart, from all over the world, and also good and kind people (the best combination). The work is high impact and there is a lot of momentum for evolving the work and function. The demand for data science is high and business partners are hungry for data science expertise. Data university is an incredible program to empower the company with data, and it's a reflection of how awesome the data scientists are that they drive and support this program. It's also neat that unlike at other companies data science experts are in every part of the business and yet keep in touch with each other and have forums to share work (like a weekly learning lunch). The company itself is fantastic as well. Founder led after 10 years and Brian and leadership have made some great hires recently, driving an inspiring vision for Airbnb. The company just makes good decisions. I have total faith that we will continue to improve and do amazing work.
Cons
Sometimes things don't move as fast as I'd like, but it's definitely improving and an area of focus
