What’s working at Airbnb like post layoffs
Airbnb seems to be hiring again and I’m curious if the culture has changed at all since layoffs. Are expectations any different? Did folks who escape layoffs feel pressure to perform? Tighter budgets? Or have things returned to normal with travel back? Also curious if teams reached out to folks who were laid off with return offers. I’ve always been an admirer of the company and would be interested in working there at some point. TC: 570k YoE: 11
I can tell you that currently it's pretty decent and probably on a strong growth trajectory thanks to the upcoming travel revival. Not sure about before/during layoffs as I joined after that. It doesn't really even seem to be anything folks talk about ever, only because you might ask about it during interviews.
A lot have changed in two years. Company is doing well business wise, obviously things like wlb are team dependent, and all relative vs what your position is like at google
Layoffs are honestly a distant memory at this point, there’s no real effect on the culture. Expectations are similar as before. The only big difference is that we aren’t hiring as much, mainly staff+ for Eng.
