Non engineering. Is it likely to have an exit soon?
I recently attended their interview, pretty stunned by the cutting edge tools and technologies they use. Yes, definitely a great company to join now.
Examples?
He clearly said non eng. Wtf
Culture is great in eng, but really amazing in non eng. Lots of ex FB around
When do you think an exit is coming?
Before 2021 definitely, because of RSU expiration. My guess would be 2020, but could be 2019 (I don’t have special inside info tho, NYT info is just as good)
Non eng should join Uber. First class citizen
the question was about airbnb, not “which company...”.
So?
Stay away from Airbnb. Same old big company politics
Lol what? Have you worked in a big company before? Politics are nothing here.
No. Don’t come. Will regret
Why would I regret it?
Because situation is bad
CEO has explicitly stated that we won’t ipo in 2018, after he effectively pushed out our cfo. I really miss the cash equity of fb.
:/ why’d he do that?

Don’t come. You will regret it
Why?
This is unfair. I and most folks are pretty happy here. But I’m not sure that it makes sense given my financial situation to stick around if my equity won’t be sellable for more than 2 years. Whether or not you need that liquidity is something you should decide for yourself. Culture and people are great. But don’t come for the money.
It’s genuinely great. There are some pessimists in eng on blind for the last few months. Come do an interview and you’ll see pretty quickly for yourself. The exit won’t come in 2018, 2019 or 2020 seems like the magic time (guessing). We just hired the VP of Amazon Prime to run the main business and I think he is going to do amazing things. I’m not usually a koolaid drinker but the potential is very strong.
Also as a new hire, the vesting schedule makes a 2019/2020 exit less of a concern.
Don’t come in banking on the expectation of a 2019/2020 ipo. It’s been “within the next 2 years” for the past 6 years or so
Great company and time to join for eng and non eng. Looking forward to our new President of the Homes business (core). We’re working on some great initiatives. Personally feel inspired and motivated 2 years running and on.
You need to practice your selling skill. I mean, if you speak like a politician, it’s not a good way to advertise.
