Pros

Great cafeteria, commute support, lots of perks, good 401k matching, Msft stock doing great

Cons

LinkedIn culture is slowly dying and replaced with Msft culture. In my pass 2 teams no one worked from home, some engineers are working on their days off and DTO. Promotion is rigid and hard. You won’t get promoted just because you are ‘exceed expectations’ 3 years straight. However, if your manager likes you you can get promoted even if you’ve been in the team for less than a year. People starts to not respond to you, doesn’t answer your email, slack, no matter what you do. If you try to do a project with an external team, then they do their very best to not co-operate. I’ve been here a long time and things have truly gone down the drain. Technologies used are super old and irrelevant.
