Thinking about my time at Airbnb still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth
Pros
Great gear You will love most of your coworkers Being able to work remotely was a major plus for me, although this applies less and less in today's Airbnb
Cons
No respect or recognition if you work remotely, and that has only gotten worse for US employees who are unable to relocate to San Francisco or Portland. Heaven forbid you have a family and other roots in your own community! Your career with Airbnb is basically over. Atrocious management. None of the other lovely benefits mentioned by engineers and HQ folk here count if you don't work in the office If you work in CS, chances are you will feel taken for granted. That is because you are being taken for granted. Drama. Obvious favoritism as people are promoted or passed over with more regard for their social status than their competencies. Bias towards promotion of men in CS, even when an individual is less qualified than a woman in that role (and there are more women in the pool than men).
