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.
airbnb ios app sucks. the experience is not smooth, has rendering and touch issues and if you want to ask for help, the experience is terrible. i mean for fucks sake, its not even a complicated workflow. why do you need so many engineers if not for Mobile And web development. it looks like somethi...Read more
Can someone tell me why the Airbnb app and website are so slow? Does anyone have tips to make it speed up? Is iOS faster? I often have to use Chrome mobile browser just to check things because it loads about twice as fast but still terrible. 30 seconds to load and 80% time out rate They don't o...Read more

I wrote a big ass review for a stay, got a slack message so opened the app to reply and came back to the airbnb app, the review text had disappeared. I again started writing the review and put my phone down for a minute, opened the phone back, and the review text disappeared again! 🤡🤬 Wtf #vaca...Read more
I think the people in the tech industry need to come together and come up with better digital traveling products for people, with an emphasis on customer service and experience (beyond just basic digital experience). As glossy as the app interface and design looks for each of these travel apps, wha...Read more
My Airbnb app didn’t work for a couple of hours. It just didn’t respond to any search. What happened? Is anybody going to be fired from this incident?
Would love to hear from senior devs... did the guys at AirBnb do good job? # Edit. Those who voted no can you elaborate?
Like I said, its buggy as hell, and half the features I and other hosts have suggested are never implemented.
I thought Airbnb switch back to native since 2018. I was told I’m wrong.

Joining in a few months and I'm curious: if you're a SWE at Airbnb, does the company provide you with a work phone? If not, does the company make you install any apps on your personal phone? Any MDM (mobile device management) apps, or anything else? TC: 400k #airbnb #tech #workphone #swe

He's actually the one who told me about the app. He was a heavy user when he was at his previous company, and he shared some pros and cons about using it. How many other people talk about Blind with their managers or team members? I saw the Airbnb post yesterday that said the company mentions Blind....Read more
Had a side business with Airbnb. After the redesign it has killed my business. I was doing 8-12k in revenue a month with 7 apartments it honestly has went down to $300. That's all the reservations I received in the month of may. I had an 18 month track record going and before the change had 80% occu...Read more
The Airbnb site and app works well and looks pretty. I know there will always be ongoing changes to it, but I am curious how much work there is left for the engineers to work on (esp very well paid ones relative to the industry). Is it boring keep the lights on stuff, or is everyone involved in laun...Read more
Does Airbnb have actual hard engineering problems? As someone mentioned on Hacker News today: “the day to day engineering problems Airbnb has are not very interesting. It’s a web app that can handle peak traffic with standard technologies (meaning nothing real time, live streaming, or millions of u...Read more
