Pros

1. Great WLB - if you're a parent/caretaker and need boundaries, someone who is burnt out, or someone who likes doing the bare minimum, this is the company for you 2. Truly the BEST benefits out there - best food in the Bay Area, best 401K match, amazing perks and discounts, etc. 3. People are really nice and friendly. Genuinely all people you'd enjoy grabbing coffee with

Cons

1. Low pay - if you're looking for the highest offer, this won't be it. And once you're here, it is IMPOSSIBLE to get decent raises 2. There are two types of employees: really amazing star employees that work their butts off and the deadweight. It's about 50/50. The dead weight are not smart or motivated, and drag us all down 3. "Rest and vest" is the motto, which is great for some and not for others. Working here can be a bit boring, and you may not grow as much as you would in other companies. Your career can plateau if you spend too long here. 4. Leadership. Yikes. Ask anyone who has been here since pre-2020 when Jeff was CEO and watch them heavy sigh or grimace

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.
