Airbnb culture
How do you like working there? Is there still a feeling of positive momentum? Do teams work well together or does management like to maintain fiefdoms?
It’s the best that I’ve seen by far. It’s no longer a small company (maybe 700 eng now?) but the culture is still solid. We have two non technical interviewers in the loop that check the culture fit/values. Lots of people come from Goog/FB/etc but almost no one goes the other direction (usually people go to tiny startups when they leave). So that gives you a good indication.
It has its downsides like any company but compared to others I've worked at its great overall.
The teams that I've interacted with have worked well together. In my experience there are great front line managers, but upper management could be better.
I have a few friends there. Most say it’s really toxic.
I love it. I’ve had great teams and managers
Don’t listen to the kool-aid drinkers. It’s a shitshow
Is there a standard 90 day exercise window if you leave or longer?
It’s not great, going south in my opinion. They’re taking more of a corporate approach and cutting perks, seems like everyone has a negative vibe in the office, at least in Portland.
It's good for vacations but I don't know what it's like to work there
