LinkedIn reviews

Technology stack sucks and the network effect of selling yourself to get promotion has led to engineers not focusing on companies success but individual promotion. Very few teams actually do real good work . Titles are super inflated. Also the quality of talent has dropped drastically thanks to leetcode questions which are not updated for ages. If you think just working hard will make you succeed at LinkedIn then you are wrong . Only way to grow is to join a new team and send emails exaggerating the work you do. I dont see this company achieving much unless drastic steps are taken to change the environment. If you are joining LinkedIn make sure to not spend time in execution and just focus on leadership and writing minor review comments.

Despite being a fun place, I walked out of LinkedIn will little improvement in my professional skills. If you are Asian or Caucasian, it's very likely that you'll experience the same reverse discrimination I faced during my time at LinkedIn. I sat through countless "diversity" talks and felt increasingly excluded from LinkedIn's hallmark "inclusive culture." At LinkedIn, there's a stark difference between invisible diversity and celebrated diversity. The celebrated diversity here is race.. the invisible diversity here is socioeconomic status, sexuality, academic background and age. LinkedIn will shove a narrative down your throat that encourages you to feel immense guilt and shame if you're a "privileged race." News flash, being Asian doesn't mean I'm automatically privileged. Not surprisingly, this leaks into your opportunities for great projects and promotion. I was told by management to underperform towards my quota-carrying role because it promoted unhealthy competition against less privileged teammates - in that case, salary me and I will happily underperform. Speaking of salary - don't expect to make a high one here. They consistently underpay the market because they want "people who love LinkedIn for the opportunity and not the money." I'll never forget the number of entry-level hires that told me they were working Uber, Taskrabbit, or depending on their parents to afford to live in the city.
