Pros

Was amazing up until about Jan 2023. Culture was off the charts. Everyone is super nice, caring and collaborative. Employees want to see each other win. It's not just about individual achievement. WLB is pretty good.

Cons

Around Jan 2023, it started shifting, primarily due to the waves of layoffs that have been hitting since then. The layoffs have taken a huge toll on the morale at the company, and the energy has shifted to be one that's more paranoid, less of a feeling of security (which is never conducive to the highest levels of productivity so it's a vicious cycle). LI has also back peddled on their remote work policy. For the past couple years they touted how much they trusted their employees, that research is showing how productivity is just as strong for remote workers, and that everyone could choose where they wanted to work from. Now they're forcing everyone to be in the office several days per week - despite the research showing productivity is just as high at home.

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.
