Pros

Everyday I feel beyond lucky to work at a company with such an incredible culture and wonderful people. I am so inspired by the work I am involved with and constantly amazed by the caliber of my colleagues. Creativity is central, and rethinking status quo is standard. Airbnb is a mission-driven organization and you can directly see the value of your contributions to big and impactful goals.

Cons

The work can be utterly addicting. There is still very much a start-up culture and each person could easily be replaced by three. Most people here log long hours, but it's of our own choosing.

Pros

Airbnb has all of the perks typically found in the tech industry, but with a focus on quality, health, integrity, sustainability, etc. Kitchen staff is in house and enjoys all perks of company. Fast growing company with lots of opportunity. Management deals with opportunities for improvement proactively and makes changes.

Cons

Growing so quickly, often opportunities precede tenure. Departments can be siloed and with the company becoming larger, communication and collaboration can at times be lacking.

Pros

Really friendly people - it's sometimes surprising how genuinely enthusiastic people are about getting to know each other. The perks - 3 healthy/delicious meals a day (I save so much $$ on groceries!), travel coupon ($500 credit every quarter = $2000/year in Airbnb credits), full medical/dental/vision(!) The mission - I feel proud to work at a company that has a social element to its mission, it's not only empowering people economically while taking advantage of under-utilized space, but it's also making the world a smaller, more connected place by fostering intimate cross-cultural experiences.

Cons

It's growing so quickly that it can be difficult to keep track of who's in charge of what. The company's priorities around marketing and design can sometimes seem strange given the threats to its business model from a regulatory standpoint. It'd be great if there was more transparency with employees (and users) around these issues.
