PROS

I am proud to work at Airbnb because they care deeply about both their employees and their customers.
Lots of opportunity to build and grow. Smart people, good engineering leadership.
Product driven, great design, very nice people.

CONS

Tech stack is not very ideal.
Too much pressure, uncertainty on next year employment.
Infrastructure and dev tooling lacking, testing is hard.

What Airbnb employees have to say about interviewing?

“The coding interview will last about 45 minutes and you'll be expected to answer medium / hard Leetcode questions. Coding interviews at Airbnb can be very challenging - no pseudocode here, so be sure to prepare at a level of detail that means your code will pass test cases. Interviewees recommend reviewing basics like searching a binary tree, dfs/bfs, queues/stacks, sort algorithms, etc.”
