/ 100
Airbnb offers multiple credible entry points for early-career talent, including internships across regions and a structured engineering apprenticeship that targets candidates from non-traditional backgrounds. The biggest constraint on the score is transparency and outcomes data: the company shares some timelines and pay info, but the company does not publish consistent, role-by-role detail on interview stages, feedback, conversion rates, or early-career progression.
