Pros

It is a great company. There are a lot of house-brewed open source technology for you to learn. Almost everything you use here is cutting edge so that you can probably work for many others after leaving here. I like that the company is under staffed so that the employees here can choose the big projects and make great contributions. Also the company values relationship between each other so you will feel very respected by your peers.

Cons

Not everybody is a rock star and sometimes the best ones have to do a lot.

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.
