Good comp, benefits. Work from home is what keeps me here.
Cannot trust your co-workers. Poor leadership and micromanaging managers. Lots of politics.
is there any startup doing similar shit? Edit: - vrbo was founded 12 years earlier than airbnb, so it's not competitor it's a loser, whose website is built by idiots. plus its more like a property management company. - expedia/booking/hotels, they are different animals. it's like goolge / fb compet...Read more
Hi, I am moving to airbnb from FB and want to inform my manager. Does Fb consider Airbnb as a competitor ? Will I be let go the same day ? Will I be able to choose any day as my last working day ?
Why does Airbnb offer much higher comp than all of it's competitors like Fang and other pre-ipo companies?
Has anyone heard about this Airbnb competitor Sonder? My friend recently stayed in one of their apartments and really liked it. Scalable or competitive model?
Airbnb is at 142.5. According to my research Airbnb has the most organic visitors (around 70%) than any of it’s competitors. Airbnb’s tech and business model is very promising. True that prices could fluctuate for some time, but I am thinking of buying and keeping it for next few years. Any thoug...Read more
Airbnb seems likes the only unicorn I see that can reach a $1 trillion marketcap. Rough numbers are $40b gross bookings $5b revenue $1b profit My reasoning is simple. Network effect and a likely monopoly. High margins. Travellers are going to spend more on airbnb than almost any other tech company...Read more
All big techs have mean streaks, sometimes unintended consequences. My employer will score high for obvious reasons. AirBnB made cities more unaffordable for middle class, Uber squeezes drivers with below minimum wage, Microsoft used to be the big satan taking that over from IBM, Apple and Samsung s...Read more
Uber back in 2019 didn't have layoffs, there was no pandemic, they were valley favorites with possibility of 200B valuation on the trading day, but could only go high as 75B. Whereas, with Airbnb being a smaller company, niche market with lot of competitors, broken business model due to pandemic, r...Read more
Just got an offer from both, similar package, I like both for their mission, culture, engineering team, very difficult decision for me. Airbnb is profitable, growth slows down a little bit since last year, have some new initiatives, some competitors, but not as fierce as lyft is facing. On the side...Read more
What are your thoughts on their market caps? I think Doordash is definitely overvalued. Food delivery market has a lot of players. I don’t understand why Doordash is valued at $60B while Grubhub is valued at $6B. Revenue growth is higher but next year when covid goes away, it will be likely another ...Read more
Both Jony Ive and Hiroki Asai were Steve Jobs' right hand men. Airbnb is simply a travel company, why pay up the ass for these two costly employees? I get it if they have competitors in their space, but they are essentially the only company in town. Why waste so much money on marketing and design...Read more

How will they react if...Read more
many tech companies, although they solve real people's problems, do not deserve the recognition. For example, Uber, Netflix, Airbnb, Meta etc They solve one problem really well but they just pay high TC because they have the monopoly in that business and charge a lot of people money. Real tech com...Read more
Candidates are 1. Airbnb. They overreacted during the pandemic, sold their equity at a fire sale, laid off 25% of their employees and then rehired some of them a month later, and didn’t go IPO when they could at a hefty valuation. Now they are trying to go IPO in a middle of a pandemic when traveli...Read more
I can start Chatgpt will start to replace recruiter and some simpler support, no disrespect to my recruiter friends Airbnb us revenue will stagnant as it's revenue is a function of population growth and competitor like hopper and vbro is eating it's market share Offshoring to India Canada and Eur...Read more
So COVID-19 is fucking startups as VCs are changing their investmenr decisions and those who may need more funding later this year are going to have a hard time raising capital relative to the market pre-COVID-19. layoffs are ensuing at companies that lack strong balance sheets. and for the most p...Read more
Hey, hey, people. Recently there was a 10% re-org/layoff in Acorns competitor (investment/brokerage platform), and I was lucky to have around 20 days to find another job. I'm currently located in Armenia but was planning to come to Poland, since I already got a type D visa (PBH) for 365 days starti...Read more
Currently a 5a at Uber, got a staff engineer offer at a fast-growing startup called Sonder (staff for them being like Uber's L5b or high L5/low L6 in general) in the bay area that recently became a unicorn. They claim to be a rocketship, constantly compare themselves to Uber, Airbnb, etc. Salary: ...Read more
My team here at SpotHero just opened up a staff engineer role (backend - Java/Kotlin focused, some python here and there). Considering the recent big tech layoffs figured I'd post here to see if anyone's interested. It's a really chill culture and pretty awesome WLB. Good job security (we're ess...Read more
TLDR - Pinterest does not treat employees well and you will have a chance to work with real stupid people in your day-to-day life. More likely your manager stabs you in the back and none of their promises will be true. People who actually do things are burning out and not rewarded. If you consider y...Read more
