Pros
The culture, the people and the environment are unique ! Airbnb offers an amazing Work/Life balance with amazing benefits.
The product is really great and even after 11 years it's only the beginning so many great new features to come :-)Cons
Growing in the company can be tricky as it's not by working hard you'll get a promotion but by doing chit chat with the people of department you wanna go.
Advice to Management
Value your people for the work they do and not the useless/fake chit chat to get promoted

Pros
Wonderful environment, all staff are very like minded as a result of the cross functional interviews. Culture is unique. The perks are also great.
Cons
I think that by industry standard, they don't pay as well as other tech companies, but the culture makes up for the pay gap
Advice to Management
I honestly don't have any advice - we have room to grow and opportunity to move internally.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Airbnb full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
- There is a tendency for staff to complain and long for "the good old days", but in reality despite teething difficulties Airbnb is a great place to work
- Benefits are excellent: yearly $2000 USD travel voucher, high quality food and snacks that are healthy and sustainable, pension matching, well designed and comfortable office spacesCons
- Inexperienced middle management, especially many who got promoted quickly when the company was smaller
- Lack of open and clear communication
- Tendency to sugar coat 'bad' news
- Lack of growth opportunities in certain teams
- Far too San Francisco/US-centricAdvice to Management
- Stop sugar coating communications, or worse not communicating at all on certain topics
