Pros: The whole company is moving at a very fast pace. The whole eng team is on a single floor, and it's easy to get things done. Very open and friendly culture. Decent compensation with a considerable amount of stocks.

Cons: The tech stack has been growing organically in the past, which means you need to put some effort to be on top of everything. The Eng org is expanding crazily, so you must learn to embrace change. The workspace is small and a bit noisy. It'll get better once we have another floor. It's a 15+ minute walk to BART or Caltrain, which is far enough to make you hate walking. No free parking.

Pros: - Working on a product based around travel (opportunities to travel on Airbnb around the world) - Free food: 3 meals a day! - Amazing impact on cities and individuals - Tons of opportunity for impact - Leadership training opportunities for many people - Relatively flat structure

Cons: - Growing pains transitioning from a smaller startup to a successful larger company. - Only recently started doing performance reviews, so still getting ramped up to the new process.

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.
