Pros

Food. Looks good on resume. Bike rides around campus. Work/life balance was pretty normal.

Cons

Egos. Sexism. Top>Down management. Zero creativity. Lack of team environment. Ego maniacs. If you want to solve real customer problems, don't work here. This place is all about pushing sh*t on users, not solving their needs.

Pros

- work/life balance - good food

Cons

- LinkedIn is not an engineering driven company. - Lots of antiquated technologies and plenty of technical debt. - Level of talent is very low. B players hiring C players. - Middle and upper management is extremely political - Pretty heavy brain drain: most talented engineers leave after their 1 year cliff - Overall, engineers are overpaid for their level of talent. Most people are content with the terrible state of things, as long as it's not hurting their careers or paychecks.
