Pros

Great benefits, great pay, company headed in the right direction and management really cares about employees, stock on the rise, great place to work overall. I really like what Weiner has been able to do in his tenure and hope he can keep it up. The Mountain View campus is awesome and the organized events that the company scheduled for us were a great time to meet some of our co-workers in other departments and socialize.

Cons

Somewhat long commute from San Francisco to Mountain View, long hours, busy work environment, some co-workers were overly cocky and chose not to put in as much effort as the rest of the team. I left to pursue a higher paid position next door at Google where I felt my abilities were able to be better utilized because some of the projects at LinkedIn seemed low-level.

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.
