Airbnb reviews

Leads/Managers/Management are inexperienced and not empowered to create change. Compared to the talent of the talent pool, I would say those in who manage, are the exact polar opposite. In a few years, I think they will be the reason for the brain drain E-staff tends to make volatile, non-scientific, impulsive decisions that flow top down. Airbnb is a very top down company that likes to say it's grassroots. Career advancement is pretty much a null - lateral movement is easily possible, but even if you have met the target, they will find a way to move the target again to not pay you more. You will be paid significantly less at Airbnb for how much you work. You can chose to work less (which is what people do, there are lots of coasters) The compensation structure turns high performing, hard working employees into simply competent or mediocre ones as you have to be political and visible to be compensated, not highly competent. Very little diversity in leadership - almost all male (and white)

The criteria for being evaluated and moving up in the levels is not entirely clear.
