Pros

Good benefits, work/life balance, and compensation

Cons

LinkedIn prioritized diverse recruiting efforts over the last couple of years, however once regular layoffs began, BIPOC (specifically Black and Latinx colleagues) were the ones majorly impacted (which is unfortunate given the already limited #).. The DEI efforts are all a façade with no true meaning. BIPOC are frequently overlooked for promotions and internal transfers, additionally you will be pressed to find a BIPOC on any of the interview panels outside of recruiters, especially in Product and Engineering. There are very few guidelines at LinkedIn for hiring BIPOC, so diversity is VERY scarce in middle management positions that aren't in the support org and virtually non-existent in product and engineering. Be sure to verify all of this by reviewing their public diversity reports especially over the next couple of years and be sure to ask questions about diversity throughout the interview process. Advice to all - Once you're in LinkedIn it's almost impossible to get promoted or get a decent raise so be sure to heavily negotiate when joining the company.

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.
