Pros

Posh Cafeteria and good food a lot of social events great value in the resume good pay (in the range of 60 to 70% of FANG compensation)

Cons

low caliber managers in all levels. (Except the very top level) Managers have more authority and power that is being misused. Engineers are forced to pay attention to pleasing managers instead of focusing on technology and new products. HR is always one sided with managers. Performance reviews are not questionable and are not really based on one's performance. you need to be in the close circle of management in order to get recognized.

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.
