Pros

1. Very positive culture from the top down. 2. Good sales enablement/development program. 3. Impressive product knowledge program. 4. Nice benefits and perks. 5. Colleagues are very collaborative and 'competition' is relatively non-existent. 6. You're rewarded or penalized based upon your Leadership, Leverage, Results. Honestly, I am not sure how well this works for evaluations, as your Leadership and Leverage 'contribution' is very much up to the 'perception' of your manager. So this falls in the Pros and Cons boxes.

Cons

1. Promotion path is political. 2. Sales quotas are aggressive. 3. Hiring process can be frustrating to outsiders (i.e. candidates trying to get into LinkedIn). It is extremely hard to get hired by LinkedIn, super competitive. LinkedIn is extremely thorough in their hiring process and many candidates are not prepared for how long and disjointed the hiring process can be. Be patient, yet proactive (recruiters have been known to forget to follow up with candidates regarding 'Yes or No'). 4. You're rewarded or penalized based upon your Leadership, Leverage, Results. Honestly, I am not sure how well this works for evaluations, as your Leadership and Leverage 'contribution' is very much up to the 'perception' of your manager. So this falls in the Pros and Cons boxes.

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.
