      Declining engineering culture, poor leadership

      Staff software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Compensation and benefits are decent Good coworkers

      Cons

      The engineering culture is on a steep decline. There is forced stack ranking for performance reviews that's naively focused on short term impact. Engineering leadership (VPs specifically) is terrible and holds no accountability for themselves, instead trying to pass down the accountability to others lower in their reporting chain. They are unable to push back on product initiatives and instead want ICs to be blamed for not pushing back on initiatives we don't believe in. Terribly inefficient way to do things. WLB is declining because of all this, and burnout across orgs is on the rise. Multiple high performers are unhappy and have already left or are in the middle of plans to.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There is still a significant amount of good and caring people who genuinely want you to succeed but they are on the decline. Increasingly, those who thrive in a toxic 'cut-throat' environment are becoming more prominent.

      Cons

      Over the past 9 months, a cultural revolution has occurred. Those who built the great culture that LinkedIn is known for are being replaced by those who favor traditional corporate practices. Transparency and true compassion have diminished in favor of carefully choreographed events and heavy use of corporate jargon. Innovation feels stalled, and the strategy appears to be imitate rather than lead.

      Paranoia, toxicity, and lack of ethics

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Free food, prestige of a name company. A good manager can help your career.

      Cons

      The most toxic and unethical place I’ve ever worked. I feel I have PTSD after working at LinkedIn. For young people only! Ongoing revolving door that keeps paranoia high--no one gives opinions. Constant ageism, gossip, favoritism, aggression, resentment, revenge, and spies. Racism also. They get you when you're young and strong, but stay for your resume and leave before they destroy you. Those who know how to play the hardball game of politics survives this cut throat environment. Soon, it'll only be interns and management.
