Good business, toxic culture, lame technology
Good business, toxic culture, lame technology
Good business. Beautiful office. Good work-life balance. Competitive compensation. Some 401k match. Overall, nice people.
The environment is rather political. It seems to me that making "friends" and pleasing your manager is more important than doing solid work. It's fake and hypocritical.
I feel they don't practice what they preach.
Another complaint I have is on the engineering side. There are many talented engineers hired from top schools and FB/GOOG/AMZN/LNKD/MSFT, but miraculously, the quality of Airbnb's engineering is not that good. You can tell from how slow the website and the app are, even today. Again, this probably relates to the company's culture.
Get rid of those senior managers who only care about their own "career" and how to make their managers happy. Foster more transparent, real merit-based incentives and culture.

The interview process was pretty terrible. I would suggest looking elsewhere or using this company for practice interviews (for other companies) if you want to leave with a positive experience, whether rejected or not. I went all the way to the onsi

The interview process was lengthy and tough, but the questions were fun to solve. The interviewer was nice as well. I would interview again in the future. This was last year. Not sure what else to include here in the review.

Asked technical and culture fit questions. I remember them asking about the company's four core values and how they might apply to me. I ended up talking about my past experiences.
