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.
Is Airbnb the best tech company to work at? Change my mind. - high pay, strong refresh - remote first - good wlb - secure (at least employees aren’t concerned for their job security) - good ceo - no layoffs after Covid TC: 350K

Hospitality companies such as Airbnb, Sonder, this kind of hospitality platforms, Are they tech companies? How do you draw a line between tech and nontech. What determines Tech vs Nontech?
Have been through a few interview loops at this point only to find out later that the advertised remote work policy isn't actually what it claims to be, and keeps you chained up in the US (and often even in the same state you're employed from). Compiling a list of US companies (public, startups, an...Read more
Before pandemic I feel Airbnb is such dream company, one tier above Google. So how about now? Culture, TC, hiring bar? The blind score is only 3.6, is the score reliable?
Curious if there are more companies like Pinterest/Airbnb with formal setups allowing months of remote work abroad in diff timezones?

The title pretty much says it all. This Airbnb make money or lose money?

Airbnb is considered big tech and it makes a lot of sense why people want to work there (TC/culture etc) but why does the company even need strong engineering? The company doesnt seem like a hard engineering problem to me - a listing website, not super high volume. For example, faang is all massive ...Read more
My intention is not to disparage the company but it’s out of genuine curiosity. They are essentially a hotel room listing company with a nice looking website and mobile apps. Hilton has a website and mobile apps as well. Why aren’t they considered a tech company?
Will companies like Amazon adopt a similar international work policy to airbnbs 90 day policy?
I want to work from different places around the world for a few months at a time (Asia, Europe, ANZ, etc) as a US-based Product Manager, so digital nomad / remote friendly companies only. Great WLB and obviously good-great TC. Companies who are happy with async work or working in different time zo...Read more
I’m somewhat shocked how dysfunctional airbnb engineering is. Incredibly hard to iterate due to tons of technical debt, lack of engineering leadership and most people try their best not to care too much or leave frustrated. Can anyone compare that to companies at similar stage?
Which companies are 2-4 year pre-IPO? Even if they don’t pop like DoorDash or AirBnb I don’t see any downside in joining pre IPO company as TC at Google is not that great. I even got same offer as Google 2 years ago but joined Google because of the name. Now I kind of regret it. 🤣 TC: $300k L4
