Pros
There are a lot of things that make my job great: - a majority of the employees at Airbnb is committed to the company's mission - the benefits and perks are the best you'll find - the founders are very good complements to each other, which provides great balance at the top - there's a lot of flexibility in when and how you work -- although there is a lot of work - I love my team and manager - dogs in the office! - the office is located in the city (no suburban office park here!) - there's very little "red tape" -- founders and e-staff are accessible and open - I've gotten to travel quite a bit for work, both domestically and internationally - for data science, there's encouragement for us to be continuously learning and developing our skills - two weeks off (for almost everyone in the company) over the winter holidays
Cons
There are some things that could be improved: - accountability is lacking in a lot of ways; some teams could be challenged more to meet goals/targets - the environment at the office is really chaotic and makes it hard to get much done (this should get better once we move onto our new floor) - we spend money on things that sometimes seem frivolous - the work/life balance aspect of the job leaves a lot to be desired
