Pros

Great perks, travel credits, attractive culture, comfortable working environment

Cons

Culture is at most to attract new hires to join Airbnb when in fact lack of application of culture to work is so glaringly disgusting, especially the human resource team. HR made poor hiring decisions, who have no idea of what work CX does. Mid management are nothing but eloquent and incompetent at their core work, cannot do the most basic work their teams do, no work ethics nor moral values. same for HR who continue to protect their managers and do nothing despite employees reported on their manager's lack of integrity and work ethics. Managers promote people they favour over despite guidelines for promotion. Communication from management is terrible, with no thought of how their employees feel when executive management is still discussing on how to communicate. They need a proper internal comm team, honestly. Operation managers are at best, carried titles from previous job with no understanding of airbnb cultures. HR needs to remember experiences do not always equate to good managers.

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.
