Pros

On-site gym, free breakfast/lunch, nice colleagues. Work is simple but there is a large amount of it.

Cons

The really good people are now leaving for Stripe or Slack or Airbnb. Little focus on career development. The managers that are succeeding are the usual crowd of unscrupulous self-obsessed manipulators. No-one seems to check that their teams are suffering. Not a lot of training/development opportunities. OKR system doesn't work - it's done very differently depending on your manager.

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.
