Airbnb is joining the movement in terms of permanent work from home.
Basically, working for Airbnb will allow you to not only work from
anywhere you want in your current country, but starting September
you will be able to work from anywhere in the world.
Hey, welcome and welcome back to the Channel.
My name is Laura and on this channel we talk loads about working from home
and making money online.
We look at remote jobs and online jobs.
We take a look at freelancing, starting a business and loads of ways
to reach financial independence.
And in today's video,
we are going to take a closer look at Airbnb's most recent announcement
in terms of their new flexible work design.
If you currently work for Airbnb, we will discuss what that means to you,
but also if you're interested in working for Airbnb.
We will take a look at all the jobs that they are currently looking to hire for
and whether or not those qualify for you to apply, depending on where you live
and whether you can do them remotely or online.
Make sure you stick around till the end because towards the end we will reveal
if Airbnb is or not a good place to work in
and we will take a look at current employee feedback where they give
all the details, all the insights on how it is to work for Airbnb.
So let's dove in.
Only a few days ago, Brian Chesky, Airbnb CEO, sent
a note to his entire employee community sharing more details about his plan
and the decision that the leadership team had made in terms
of Airbnb's new flexible work design.
There are five principle in this memo that have been shared
with the employee community, and I think for today's video,
the first three, not for the first three, are the most relevant.
So let's take them one by one very quickly, because I think it's
important to understand them before we can go into which jobs
they're looking to hire for Principle number one that he shared
is that anyone working for Airbnb,
with very few exceptions, can work
however they choose, either from home,
from the office, or a combination thereof.
Obviously, the offices will continue to be open
but there is loads of trust in the entire employee community
that they will be able to choose for themselves together.
With their manager
and their teams on which is the best working environment for them.
What's the best working set up?
So if you currently work for Airbnb or if you will get a job with them
based on what we will discuss a little bit later, then no, that
unless your job is one of the very few
that need to be present at the office or in a certain location,
then you can work remotely or from home as you choose.
Principle number two is that you can work from anywhere
you want in the country that is hiring you immediately.
Not only that, but you will also potentially get a salary increase
depending on where your salary base line had been established initially.
So if you already work for Airbnb, what that means is that
you will be able to work for them, continue doing that,
but you'll be able to do it regardless of where you've been hired.
That office is not so relevant anymore.
You will be able to travel across the country that you are based in
and where you've been hired, and you might get a salary increase
moving forward if you will get a job with Airbnb.
What that means to you is that you will get hired in a country.
You'll get the average salary for that country and you will be able
to be based anywhere you want that could be in the countryside,
it could be in the city, it could be wherever your heart desires.
Principle number three is that starting September,
you will be able to work for a period of up to 90 days
in any country in the world from a list of 170 that they are making available.
So they will continue
to support their employees with whatever lifestyle they choose.
So if you wanted to become a digital nomad and you want to
maybe explore other locations, travel to different countries,
then Airbnb is an amazing company to work for because starting September
you will be able to do that while continuing your job with Airbnb.
All right, so let me give you what you're here for.
Let's take a look at the current jobs that Airbnb are looking to hire for.
So I'm going to
go ahead and share my screen and take you through every single step.
So what I'm going to need you to do is to come
to careers dot Airbnb dot com, and you'll come to this website
that will show you everything you need to know about Airbnb's
working experience, their principles, their values and their offering.
Currently as you can see, they have 208 open positions across 62 locations.
And we will take a look at which are those 62 locations.
We will talk about First of all, the full time employee positions.
Then we will go into the freelancer and contractor ones
and then we'll talk about their university program.
So let's go ahead and click on all jobs.
When you come to all jobs, you will now see the different departments
that the open positions are part of like administrative Airbnb,
capacity center, business operations and analysis, community support,
data science design, employee experience and so forth.
They even have four intern positions.
So you can obviously go ahead and first of all, filter
based on the department that you're interested in.
Or you can first take a look at the locations.
They have these jobs open.
And so there are tons of open opportunities in the United States.
And as I said, it doesn't really matter where they're open
because you will be able to do them from anywhere in the U.S.
at least before September We have India, China, Germany, Belgium, Ireland,
the U.K., Luxembourg, Philippines, Mexico, Italy, Canada, France,
Brazil, South Korea, Singapore, Australia, Japan.
Quite a few options.
I know that many of you are based in these countries.
Some of you are not but that will probably change.
So please do keep an eye out on other locations that they will be opening.
For those of you who are based in one of these countries,
what you're going to need to do is obviously go ahead and select
one of the departments that you are interested in.
Seeing the jobs for, let's say, Airbnb capacity center.
Many of these jobs, as you can see, are based out of India.
We're talking production design or technical recruiting, engineering, lead
administrative coordinator, engineering manager, data scientist, and so forth.
If we go to community support, for example, we have a diversity of locations.
Some of them are based in Ireland, some are in Philippines, some in Canada,
and we're talking about regional manager quality training,
lead analytics and insights, senior analyst and so forth.
If you want to take a look at the intern positions those are related
to legal data science, communications and public policy intern.
These are basically the four positions that they have currently open
for their university program.
You can learn a lot more about their university program
if you go ahead here at the top and click on university,
they give you all the details in terms of how they recruit, what you can expect
if you're a new graduate and what their intent program entails.
Let's go back to our job search so we can take a look
at what an application process looks like.
So let's say that you are interested in the senior manager UX writing position.
It is open in many, many locations across the United States, as you can see.
So go ahead and click on it.
It explains to you in detail the role overview,
the responsibilities that you would have if you take this job.
What kind of requirements they're looking for in terms of candidate profile?
And then if you do feel that you qualify for that,
you can go ahead and click apply now
the application process, as you can see, it's pretty straightforward.
Nothing super, super complicated because it is based in the U.S.
They do require that you answer some specific questions
related to your employment situation in the U.S.
But other than that, you just go ahead fill in your information,
you upload your resume and your cover letter.
That's basically it.
And if you want, you can also apply directly via LinkedIn once you've applied,
you will become part of their system and you will start going
through the phases of the recruitment process,
through the interviews, the connections with the h.R.
Now, if you're not looking for a full time job with Airbnb
and you rather start or have only a contract relationship
then you should go ahead and click on contract or freelance work.
And currently they have four roles open in 62 locations
and that's mainly because they probably not always care where you're based.
Let's see, in this case, all four of them seem to be open in San Francisco.
And the ones they have available, we're talking service care manager
for image service care manager for Korea and Japan
one for Singapore, and then a marketplace listing photographer.
I think with this in mind, the opportunities across
Airbnb are very diverse.
As you've seen, you have opportunities and administrative, you have opportunities
in finance, in legal, in marketing and engineering and design, in writing,
no matter what your background is, there should be something in here for you
as long as you are based in one of those 62 locations.
And let's say about 20 countries that we could go through
because as I said, it doesn't really matter where you're based
right now, as long as you are in one of those countries
now, the next thing that I would like to do is to go with you
through some employee feedback, because at the end of the day,
you do want to know if this is a good company to work for or not.
So you don't bother with the application process.
If this is not the kind of working environment that you are looking for.
So I'm going to go ahead and share my screen again
and take a look at a website called Comparably
where we can dove into employee feedback about working for Airbnb.
So when you come to comparably, what you can see
is that the culture score for Airbnb is at 4.1 out of five,
which is definitely one of the higher ones that we've seen.
Their CEO, Brian Chesky, also has really good feedback, his
among top 5% CEOs in terms of their SEO score.
So it definitely looks like there is good experience.
Employee reviews show 75%
satisfaction, while only 25% seem to not be extremely excited
about working for Airbnb, what they see is that they enjoy taking on projects
that are challenging and attempting to repair and improve operations.
But they are saying that compensation is not necessarily
as good as it could be in terms of diversity score.
They have a good ranking.
They're within top 35%, but definitely lots of room for improvement.
As we have for their gender score, which is in the lower 40%.
You can take a look here and see a lot of details in terms of
what a day in the life looks like, how many meetings you would have,
how much you would work,
how much you would engage with your colleagues, your team and so forth.
And then as far as salaries
are concerned, as you can see, on average,
depending on the type of role that you have if you have one of the lower
range salaries like community manager or administrative assistant,
you can expect to make on average about $50,000
within a year, although it can go as high as 68
or $90,000 depending on your level of seniority.
And obviously the experience and expertize that you are bringing to the table
in terms of their highest salaries, obviously
their leadership team, their VP of sales of product and engineering
seemed to be making over 250, $270,000.
All in all, the feedback seems to be relatively good
employees seem to be happy working for Airbnb,
although it might not be the most diverse
and gender inclusive environment.
And there is lots of opportunity for them to improve their overall.
It looks like it's a fast pace, it's an opportunity to grow environment.
So definitely take a look at what they have to offer.
Thank you so, so much for watching.
I hope this video was helpful for you.
Until next time, I suggest you go ahead and watch this video
where we do the exact same thing, but for Tesla.
So if
you're interested in working for Tesla, especially in getting a work from home
or remote job that this is the video you want to watch next.
Thank you again and I'll see you next time. Five
