I came to Luxury Retreats just after the company was acquired by Airbnb. I was nervous about being at a new role in a very transitionary time, but I can truthfully say that every new thing Airbnb introduces makes life better and work easier here. From simple things like upgrading the wifi speed and renovating a much better office space, to major changes like much better healthcare and travel perks, everything keeps getting better.

The HR (Employee Experience) team in particular deserves commendation for their part in this process. They completely redesigned the interview process and made it much more difficult for people to get hired strictly because they "knew the right people." Nepotism exists in some capacity at every company and here is no exception, but there is significantly less of that bias than before due to the new interview process.

Moreover, the Employee Experience team did a great job developing a team that has real power. In previous jobs, when I've had an issue with a manager or coworker, "going to HR" has been at best a waste of my time, and at worst made the situation more stressful. From my conversations with coworkers, I know that the EX team has resolved conflicts in respectful, expedient ways. They're much better than a traditional HR department, and that is to say nothing of the Benefits/Payroll team which has done an incredible job hooking up every Full Time Employee with stock in the company and much better benefits packages.

It remains to be seen how Luxury Retreats' inventory and processes will integrate with Airbnb, but so far, so good. I feel challenged and appropriately compensated for my work here.

Conseils à la direction

Continue to invest and innovate re: your Employee Experience department. The people who work in that team have made working here (which can be stressful) significantly less so.

This place is beginning to feel like "The Montreal Office of Airbnb" as opposed to an amputated business. Keep up what you're doing and continue to innovate.

Avantages

Great work space and nice cafe. Everyone is young and motivated! Nice gym and AirBnB perks. Guest experience teams have so many black out dates that it is extremely hard to take vacation time.

Conseils à la direction

Promote internally more and get rid of the current LR HR team as they are not very professional. I didn't even have an exit interview... The HR specialist forgot about it and rescheduled twice...

Impersonal CEO. He only takes to the managers not to the regular employers.

Avantages

Airbnb takes care of their own. Flexible

Avantages

Most people are extremely nice and driven at Airbnb.

You can really find whatever you are looking for in a team.

The tech stack is a priority for the company, which makes the company a great place to work as an engineer. We have tech talks at the office, open source projects, stipends to attend conferences, etc. We encourage novel/optimal technical solutions even when the project may take more time, and we (at least recently) are trying to build with the long term in mind.

Conseils à la direction

1. Let go of more engineers who aren't meeting expectations - they are difficult to work with and continuing to play nice is a lose-lose situation for both parties involved. It hurts our brand, wastes money, and lowers the quality of our product. I think we also need to revisit our interview process to make it more fair and filter out more low quality engineers.
2. Being kind ("Be a host", etc.) does not need to translate into padding every piece of feedback with niceties. I would prefer if the office culture tended more towards radical candor and less towards "fake nice"
