Today, we’re announcing that Airbnb employees can live and work anywhere.

Our design for working at Airbnb has 5 key features:
1. You can work from home or the office—whatever works best for you
2. You can move anywhere in the country, like from San Francisco to Nashville, and your compensation won& #39;t change
3. You have the flexibility to live and work in 170 countries for up to 90 days a year in each location
4. We’ll meet up regularly for team gatherings. Most employees will connect in person every quarter for about a week at a time (some more frequently)
5. To pull this off, we& #39;ll operate off of a multi-year roadmap with two major product releases a year, which will keep us working in a highly coordinated way
Why did we come up with this design?
The world has become more flexible. Our business wouldn’t have recovered as quickly from the pandemic if it hadn’t been for millions of people working from Airbnbs

We also had the most productive two-year period in our company’s history—all while working remotely
Two decades ago, Silicon Valley startups popularized open floor plans and on-site perks.
Today’s startups have embraced flexibility and remote work. I think this will become the predominant way companies work 10 years from now

Companies will be at a significant disadvantage if they limit their talent pool to a commuting radius around their offices. The best people live everywhere
But there’s a tension.
The most meaningful connections happen in person. Zoom is great for maintaining relationships, but it& #39;s not the best way to deepen them. And some creative work is best done in the same room

The right solution should combine the efficiency of Zoom with the meaningful human connection that happens when people come together.
