Why are Blind users overcritical of AirBnB?

I have noticed there are numerous posts of AirBnB everyday either trashing their website, software engineers, company evalution etc. while the points are true in some capacity, it applies to other companies as well but why does AirBnB receive so much hate from FAANG? TC - 200k

Because relative to the complexity of their product they have the hardest interviews and (had?) the highest prestige

Walmart wassupdog OP Apr 23, 2020

Knew they had the hardest interview and paid well but wasn’t aware they had chip on their shoulder !

Amazon rLHI20 Apr 23, 2020

Yeah this is why I'm critical of them at least. Literally a basic crud application but they pay 300k+ and ask hard questions. Doesn't really make sense lol

Every company gets their turn at getting trashed in blind.

Walmart wassupdog OP Apr 23, 2020

True but usually blind is sympathetic towards company/people who are crushed for varied reasons.

Uber got a ton of shit in the past. Some people simply jelous

Uber ImDaraOrTK Apr 23, 2020

not sure what gives you that impression, I haven't heard anyone in the company downtalk the technical ability of other tech companies

Microsoft mipmap Apr 23, 2020

Meh you're reading too much into it. It just happens people trash things a lot more when they're anonymous

Amazon diaosi2020 Apr 23, 2020

because their diversity garbage. if u are one of the groups they openly discriminated u will understand

Amazon de5i Apr 23, 2020

Do tell more!

Amazon diaosi2020 Apr 23, 2020

imagine receving an official email saying the company need to boost diversity, but explicitly complaining they already have too many Asian males so they should target “other” minorities.

Yeah we don’t need to kick em around so much. I didn’t really get the elitist vibe from my connections who worked there.

Airbnb rob.blob Apr 23, 2020

Heh, I have!

Airbnb rob.blob Apr 23, 2020

To be perfectly honest, many of us are assholes who don’t live up to the values or image.

Workday xvvusr Apr 23, 2020

Lmao. Candid

Walmart wassupdog OP Apr 23, 2020

As Candid as the AirBnB owners I stay Everytime !

Airbnb qpwodn Apr 23, 2020

Not sure what part of the company rob.blob works in, but I don’t experience elitism at all from coworkers

Airbnb doLeet? Apr 23, 2020

Lol, elitism? If you could see the internal chat, you’d see that we’re constantly living in an inferiority complex compared to other tech companies that are looked up to. Including rob.blob here

Walmart wassupdog OP Apr 23, 2020

Curious if this is due to situation your company is in or always been the same during your time?

Airbnb dcnJ4z Apr 23, 2020

This has been the case for years. There’s a few extremely bitter, extremely immature eng that complain on blind and shit all over the company. They’re the exception though.

Airbnb duTw43 Apr 23, 2020

Since Uber went public last year, those same people started targeting Airbnb. It's not new
