Pros: - Genuinely supportive and invested coworkers. - Founders are very focused on not stagnating as we grow. - Engineers can choose their own team, so you can find a team that suits you in terms of work-life balance/productivity. There's no global company culture of "workaholics" or "slackers"; you really can find the right role for you. - Similarly, it's easy to find the kind of eng role you prefer (product, front-end, infra, etc). - Diversity efforts are the best I've ever seen or heard of in a large tech company. Estaff is very committed to increasing our internal diversity and also making sure there are no problems with discrimination of any kind. (Our mission is "belong anywhere," and leadership takes that very, very seriously, including internally.) - Leadership is constantly working to fix any employee issues that arise. We take tons of happiness surveys and have lots of communication on how they're planning to improve things that are issues. - Basically, Airbnb has always seemed very committed to employee happiness via perks, transparency, and inclusion, and it works!

Cons: Sometimes the growing pains can get frustrating and things can move kind of slow, but in my experience it's better than most companies this size. Gym memberships are not included in perks.

Pros: Airbnb is the type of place that if it fits with you, then it *really* fits. The co-workers are incredibly fun, interesting, talented people who have a lot of stories to share. I always feel at home coming into the office. Great culture and generally a pleasant place to be. As an engineer, there is a good amount of challenge.

Cons: The culture can lead to long work hours. It's mostly because people are passionate about what they do, but it can make it feel like late nights are expected, even if they're not.

Pros: Great team. Very smart and talented people. Individual and team autonomy.

Cons: A new manager with very little tech experience was brought in to disrupt. Airbnb upper management doesn't understand disruption.
