1. Comp 2. Less toxic as compared to others 3. Slow moving resulting in less pressure (in certain parts)
1. Hires less and only senior people. So no growth path for management and IC. 2. Extreme top down. Nothing happens without CEO's decision making 3. Bi-yearly launches which are better suited for hardware world than software. 4. Lot of super senior people in rest and vest mode.
Anyone at Airbnb know about a requirement for recruiters/hiring managers to have interviewed at least one “diverse” person for a role before they can make an offer to a “non diverse” person? Not sure if this is still active, but a recruiter told me that this was the policy in early 2020. Trying to ...Read more
Open to refer anyone to Airbnb India for S/SE position in diversity profiles. Yoe - 3+ #airbnb #india #airbnbindia
I have seen that colored people are a part of diversity even if they are mixed colored whereas Indians aren't. Indians and other neighboring countries (Bangladesh, SriLanka) too have colored people. Why aren't they included in diversity? Colored people get scholarships in universities, why not Sou...Read more
If you wanted to dig your heels in and climb the ladder at a company for 10+ years, which would you guess would be the most rewarding in terms of TC and the quality of your exit opportunities (assuming you can survive said companies culture and expectations over that time frame)?

Asking just out of curiosity how many of you had female interviewers especially in Arch design or coding rounds? I never had. What do you think is the main the reason behind it? Companies are doing diversity hiring. Women are no doubt performing very good in the team then what’s the reason? #women...Read more

*NOTE I was not affected by layoffs* its really sad to see the majority of top performers cut. Leadership blindly made these decisions by keeping their friends and what would look good from a diversity perspective. Its truly very said to see a lot of recent promos and folks with GE and EE ratings b...Read more
A Microsoft guy's post about the majority (East) Asian team at Linkedin has me wondering - what are the ethnicity demographic breakdowns at each Tech company in the Silicon Valley? Diversity numbers always lump Indians (South Asians) and East and Southeast Asians into one supergroup "Asian" even tho...Read more

Saw a job post for EA at Airbnb and got me to thinking, maybe being an EA would be cooler than being a code monkey nerd. In addition, I'm guessing it's well paid like SWE and a presumably easier, lower-stress job where I don't have to look at code all day but actually get to talk with people as my j...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
