Pros

Everyone so friendly whether it’s cleaning staff/ senior management and all above and inbetween, it’s amazing to see how everyone fits the lovely culture of Airbnb. The food program is amazing! Healthy breakfast buffets, healthy dinners and a healthy snack program along with baristas machines (you can get barista lessons!) and every type of tea you can think of! Nice snack program too! Friendly team meetings once a months where the company keeps you in the loop of what’s happening. Genuinely nice place to work! Great happy hours and events!

Cons

Not much of a wellness program aside from gym classes (which are great if you’re into that type of thing). Would love a few visiting on site services as per other multinationals. Hard to get a proper meeting room.

Pros

Airbnb's mission of creating a world where anyone can belong anywhere strongly resonates with me. I'm excited by the opportunity to build products that operate at global scale and directly impact millions of users. My background in full-stack engineering, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and AI-powered applications aligns well with Airbnb's focus on innovation, reliability, and exceptional user experiences. I am particularly attracted to Airbnb's engineering culture, emphasis on ownership, and commitment to solving complex technical challenges while delivering meaningful value to hosts, guests, and communities worldwide.

Cons

One challenge of working at Airbnb is the complexity that comes with operating a global platform at scale. Engineering teams must balance reliability, performance, compliance, and user experience across many markets and stakeholders. While this can make development and decision-making more complex, it is also one of the aspects that makes the work technically interesting and professionally rewarding.
