Pros

I LOVE my job and LOVE working here 1. Incredible people - bright, motivated, hardworking, fun and a no a-hole policy 2. Amazing products - truly add value to people and companies 3. Opportunity - career progression, travel, opportunity for the company 4.Cool offices and perks 5. Fantastic leadership team - both at the executive level and regionally

Cons

I joined LinkedIn when it was still in it's infancy in Dublin and have seen it quadruple in size since I've joined. This brings it's own issues. 1.There are now more layers of management 2.There are less transformational career opportunities - previously it was "common" to be promoted every year this process is now MUCH SLOWER 3.There is more bureaucracy and processes 4.It's more difficult to get to know people

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.
