Pros & Cons
Airbnb
- Live and Work Anywhere policy — genuine remote flexibility with no pay cuts
- Strong compensation and benefits with quarterly travel credits and educational stipends
- Limited career growth — senior roles often filled externally, promotions are slow
- Post-IPO cultural shift — increasing bureaucracy and internal politics at mid-to-senior levels
Suno
- Building the leading AI music platform with 2M+ paid subscribers and explosive growth
- Creative, mission-driven team working at the intersection of AI and music
- Compensation & benefits rated 3.5/5 — below market for AI startups
- Startup growing pains — processes and structure still catching up to rapid scaling
Bottom Line
Airbnb
Choose Airbnb if you want genuine remote flexibility and travel perks — but promotions are slow and bureaucracy is growing.
Suno
Mission-driven team building the leading AI music platform with explosive growth — but startup growing pains and below-market comp for the AI space.
