Pros

- amazing and talented colleagues - nice office - good healthcare - good perks - barista onsite - flexible working hours (to a degree)

Cons

- no real internal promotion or progression opportunities (jobs are pre-determined to a degree even though it is claimed that the best people get hired for the jobs) - mediocre (middle) management telling their teams the company line without real transparency and follow-up and managers not backing up their team members - information overload that you need to work through after hours to stay on top and in the know - depending on the team you join you are risking work life balance and can expect long working hours - it is kind of an expectation to work in an environment that is understaffed but to ensure all work gets covered and done - ongoing major changes and scaling efforts leaving teams overworked and in a muddle of new processes that do not always work and creates ways of in-efficient working - in-efficient tools, bad processes, lots and limited resources to get your job done in normal working hours - no real customer centricity - amazing and talented colleagues leaving - teams operate with limited resources and when someone goes on PTO there is no back-up as everybody is already at capacity and the workload will await an employee when returning from leave often with more pressures

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.
