Pros

Certain teams you can rest and vest.

Cons

Leadership is comically bad, they just follow what other big tech companies do, and consistently gaslight employees if any challenging questions are posed. Huge amount of legacy code that's creaking under the site's load. Engineering leadership is scrambling to modernize infrastructure and tooling. The pay is decent. The culture sucks. It reminds me of the 'this is fine' dog with the burning building behind it.

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.
