Pros

Good office. Some nice colleagues. Lot of importance given to transformation and growth.

Cons

After 2015 , LinkedIn has been growing very rapidly. With hundreds of new employees joining every quarter, the culture has been impacted negatively. Office politics, favouritism and managers favouring those that rate them well in annual surveys - typical big org management problems have now crept into LinkedIn. Used to be a great place but has lost its good culture

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.
