Anti-remote bias is rampant

Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting work, front seat view to market trends and innovation

Cons

Lack of mobility, anti-remote compensation policies and poor manager training in the area has marginalized remote employees at a time when record-high attrition is demoralizing remaining employees, especially in MCS.

A typical Silicon Valley tech company

Business Outlook

Pros

LinkedIn has great health benefits and reimbursement perks. Getting MSFT stock options don't hurt. Two weeks of company-wide shut down vacation.

Cons

Extremely slow top-down decision-making processes for teams. The culture is overbearing and overly thought out to please absolutely everybody. Meticulous hour and metrics tracking. Too much reliance on "data" that can be interpreted many ways to make decisions.

Amazing people, strong engineering culture, company treats employees well, bit slow

Senior software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Most people I worked with at LinkedIn were incredibly helpful and smart. The company really cares for employees through things like InDay, almost 3 weeks of company time off, the amazing healthcare, and great food / care packs we get.

Cons

Work can be a bit slow / bureaucratic, some people will hide behind bureaucracy to avoid work. Doc writing feels more important than engineering sometimes.
