Airbnb reviews

The environment has gotten quite political in the last couple of years. Because of the flat structure across the eng org, it is hard to move up and getting a title change - ex: they don't have a Senior Manager or Senior Director title. The performance review process has gotten more subjective rather than based on quantifiable numbers over the past year as well. Also, while the company and teams don't hesitate to throw money at extravagant offsites and parties, managers have to fight to ensure their employees are getting the pay raise they deserve.

If you are joining Airbnb, get any job except in Customer Experience. This job is truly draining -- prepare to get screamed at by rich entitled people from all over the world. There is no room to move up in the company if you work in Portland. However, if you are in San Francisco, or in any other department, the opportunities are much better. Management does not understand the difficulties that customer experience faces.
