Pros

- WLB - family oriented people - nice and smart colleagues - food and perks

Cons

- management cares more about social activities than projects and employees. it seems important to make sure the team looks united from the surface (to their upper management) - upper management spent way too much time on “relationship maters”, encouraging employees to do the same. People who actually work hard will not be rewarded if they do not socialize often, and involve in these events. - manager’s technical knowledge is ridiculously limited. - employees suck up to managers because of how much power they have.

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.
