Pros

Benefits are amazing—food, on-site perks, financial, all tremendous. Great pride in the generosity of the company, lots of Giving and a focus on making the world a better place.

Cons

So much inauthenticity wrapped in a thin veil of nice. Everyone is Nice. And that’s it for most of the people. Decisions are made and unmade repeatedly, people promoted despite a dodgy track record, and sales performance comes first—no matter how toxic a seller might be. If they’re hitting their numbers, they can treat everyone around them like dirt, and they will be protected. HR is borderline incompetent yet incredibly arrogant. I’ve been her 2 years plus and have known for a long time that I do not belong here. Everything is in the moment. No reflection and no planning.

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.
