How generous is the PTO policy at Airbnb?

Thinking of making the jump over, but read there's only 2 weeks of PTO at Airbnb (is this 10 days or 14?) How flexible is it if you want to take up to 21 days a year? Are there additional personal flex days? Are managers fairly accommodating to take untracked time-off? Much appreciated for any insight TC: 380

3 weeks PTO, 2 extra floating free days, 11 company holidays and a shutdown between Christmas and New Years. About 8 weeks a year.

That's a lot more assuring. Thanks for the details!

Isn't that unlimited PTO at airbnb?

Is there any danger of layoffs in Uber now? Why the switch?

Not really, aside from standard PIPs which are rare. Just wanted to get some fresh air.

I think if you are doing ok in Uber now, there is really no reason to switch, since every job switch is basically a mark on your resume.

The holiday shutdown means that many people combine with PTO and take a 3 or even 4 week vacation at the end of the year. That would be very hard to do elsewhere. Working remotely for a week here and there is also common.

Wednesday is "work from home day" at airbnb.
