Pros
My favorite part about working at Airbnb is the dedication of the founders. They are often here before me or working later than anyone in the office. Coming from another start up where the founders were constantly traveling or just MIA, this dedication speaks volumes about the overall energy in Airbnb. The founders show a genuine wonder at the company they've built, and that humble attitude translates into an incredible work environment. The culture and core values are actively embraced by everyone. I would look forward to grabbing lunch or happy hour with any single coworker. As a rapid growth company, the work is challenging but rewarding. You will impact the company with the work that you do.
Cons
This is not a company that hands out gold stars. Everyone works hard, and they expect and trust others to work hard. You are not micromanaged, which is a Pro in my book. If you're someone that needs your responsibilities and goals spelled out, this is not the environment for you.
