Airbnb to IPO by 2019-2020, cash bonuses
It’s a good day to be at Airbnb! Everyone is really impressed and happy with how the leadership listened to employee feedback. IPO pegged for mid 2019-2020, cash bonuses starting at 10%, option to get 25% of stock refreshers in cash and no more 1 yr vesting cliff for refreshers! https://www.theinformation.com/articles/airbnb-promises-more-cash-for-employees-plots-ipo-by-2020
Nothing interesting here
Meh. We finally did what every other company did years ago. But enjoy the kool-aid. Also no, not everyone is “impressed.” Don’t spread lies. ETA: OP is a recruiter.
As a host I would like it if you can fix AirBnB plus. God it's been 8 months in AirBnB plus hell and your designers don't even listen. When we say "pick a company that ships to Canada" you would think they would understand that at least.
There’s a lot of stuff I’d like you to fix about Microsoft. But Blind isn’t the place for feature requests. Also it’s “Airbnb.” 🙂
Thanks for letting me know!
Lol this reads like it's written by someone in HR
It’s not lol. Besides it’s just stating the facts and showing some appreciation. Idk why it matters who writes it
I was thinking PR. But from their posts in the Airbnb lounge they sure do know a lot about company benefits, so could be HR.
Congrats!
FUCK YEAH
They know the gravy train (stock market) is losing steam and their valuation is unsustainable for something that is so fickle due to laws. Another phrase for this is “exit scam”.
OP: Techcrunch published 1 year vesting cliffs are off now. What did it mean?
It means you don’t have to wait a year for the refresher grants to start vesting.
Airbnb: 2 years away from IPO since 2015
An IPO timeline had never been announced like this before. Outsiders speculated about the date, but leadership had never committed to a timeline before this
