Pros

great benefits, free food, access to new technology. Carpinteria is a beautiful place.

Cons

Culture is like being INside a Twilight Zone episode where you participate in a Tony Robbins seminar that never ends. Mostly it feels like an adult daycare center that Ned Flanders would visit. There's a glazed look in everyone's eye like the eloi in H. G. Wells's The Time Machine.

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.
