Pros

- Product is relevant - Looks good on resume

Cons

- The lack of fresh blood in top leadership is really affecting the company - Hierarchical org coupled with promotion-driven culture is creating a very toxic work environment where only bullies thrive - Very hard to get ahead as most promotions are based on favoritism and fluff - Weak leaders are easily fooled by bullies who are ready to do anything to get ahead - There is no team work - workers are in harsh competition with each other and collaboration is a joke - HR has no power and it just sides with managers

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.
