I remember applying to work AirBnB back in 2009 or 2010. I still recall today the curt response sent back to be:
"We don't accept applicants without a college degree."
Needless to say, I'm sure the policy has been amended; we work in a very different world now.

- dominotw 11y agoSame. None of my interviewers read my resume (or my github)and bemoaned the fact that my degree was not from an IVY league university, right to my face.
- AlfaWolph 11y agoThat's the point in which I walk out. So disrespectful and shortsighted.
- NegativeK 11y agoThat sounds like a raw, perfect insight into a company I wouldn't want to work for.
- exhilaration 11y agoAgreed, these comments are far better than the article.
- jitl 11y agoIt seems like the total dickishness quotient went down over the last 5 years. Airbnb gave my favorite on-site interview, and they were chill with my lack of degree. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ edit: disclaimer: i work at airbnb
