Doesn't RecommendPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Airbnb full-time
Pros
Great benefits and inclusive environment. A lot of training offered and the chance to share experiences outside of the regular scope of the day to day job.
Cons
Unfair distribution of wages across offices and often disorganized in terms of planning for the future, especially for such an established company.
Advice to Management
Please work to level and pay employees amounts that make sense and are competitive with the head office of the company. Also, please work on communicating major changes ahead of time so not to surprise employees when a major change is made.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Airbnb full-time for more than a year
Pros
-Great work environment. The offices are great and the people that work there are young and fun - Many benefits such as airbnb credits and more vacation days compared to most north american companies -Great culture and values -Good food - Free gym
Cons
Guest facing roles are under a lot of pressure and face high goals. The systems that are in place often limit us from performing as well as expected and this is rarely taken into consideration. Schedules can be quite inconvenient as well but there is an effort to improve them. Goals tend to be unrealistic and only few can meet them. All in all there is a lot of changes that will on the long term help improve the... situation for guest facing employees (better systems are being put in place, schedules are slowly getting steadier) but this might be to the detriment of the start up feel of the company.
