      Pros

      I work in the Portland office, so that's where my perspective is coming from. This is an incredibly unique place to work, and I'm delighted to be here. The office itself is awe-inspiring - Google it. The people I get to work with everyday are creative, hard working and easy to be with every day. The job itself, customer experience, is both challenging and rewarding. I've already learned a number of new skills in my 4 months here.

      Cons

      The way the leadership team is structured is confusing and, I think, convoluted. The team leads are hired externally, and thus don't have a clear understanding of the day-to-day work we have to do. When I have questions, I have to go to someone else off of my team, which puts me in a weird position when my manager is constantly asking what they can help me with. This is not my managers fault, it's just the way the structure is. I have been told that my manager's job is to help me develop my career goals, but since my manager is just as new as I am, they don't have the network connections or knowledge of the company to really help me develop where I want to go.

      Pros

      Past places I've worked at have really messed up on the culture and Airbnb is the opposite. You can tell the founders care a lot about the company, culture and their colleagues. You can tell people are happy right when you walk in the door. I used to dread Sunday evenings because I would have to go to work and now I look forward to them. The hiring process may be a bit slow, but they really do hire well. Everyone here is super nice, smart and hard working. Also, because of the fast pace that this company is growing at you get to work on a crazy amount of cool stuff and have a huge impact.

      Cons

      The work life balance here can be tricky sometimes because there's so much to do. Also, I never thought I'd say this, but sometimes there are too many social events which seem to be focused on the party crowd alone.
