Pros

Ample opportunities to grow within the organisation if you are ambitious

Cons

Having the feeling you should feel fortunate to work for LinkedIn. Sometimes too cultish, and what you were sold at induction wasn't what you got when returning to work at your respective office. Sold a great work/life balance; certainly didn't get it.

Pros

LinkedIn has a strong engineering culture, smart and supportive teammates, and meaningful product impact at a large scale. I have had opportunities to work on complex systems, collaborate with experienced engineers, and learn from cross-functional partners across product, design, data, and infrastructure. The benefits, flexibility, and internal learning resources are also strong.

Cons

Because the organization is large, decision-making can sometimes be slow, and priorities may shift before projects fully mature. Promotion expectations can feel different across teams, and the number of meetings can make it harder to protect deep-focus engineering time. Cross-team ownership is not always as clear as it could be.
