Airbnb Software Developer reviews

I've worked at other places, but Airbnb is hands-down amazing to work at. Some of my best friends I've made at Airbnb, and it's always fun to come in to work. Our core values help to really allow you to work with people that you like being around. Additionally, everyone really believes in the mission of the company and want to make a difference, so you never feel like a cog in some larger machine. Overall, great place to work.

Airbnb has a strong positive culture - People are genuinely invested in the company / product and constantly talking about ways to make it better. It's intoxicating and makes it a lot more fun to go to work and think of your own ideas to improve Airbnb. For an engineer, a relatively small team (~140 engineers) working on a complex product makes for lots of opportunities for impact and ownership, even in the first couple months. The fast growth also adds to the ownership and career advancement opportunities, since a relatively short tenure at Airbnb can become seniority with all of the expansion and hiring. Additionally I feel like I've learned a ton both from other engineers and working collaboratively with designers, data scientists, and producers (product managers). Overall I don't think I would have shipped nearly the diverse and impactful set of projects at another company, nor feel the same sense of community among my team and coworkers. I interviewed at many companies before choosing Airbnb and I've never even been tempted to look back!
