Pros

- Explosive growth means you can have full ownership over your work and career. You can own as much as you ask for - Extremely collegial atmosphere where everyone shares common goals and works together regardless of title or function - Opportunities to work on projects outside of your business unit/function - "Hack Day" judged by senior leadership and is a great way to have your ideas heard and work with people outside of your business unit - Completely open and honest leadership. VERY few surprises. - Very energetic and friendly employees at all levels. - Ridiculous perks (free catered gourmet lunch, kitchen on every floor is like a free 7-11, free Caltrain passes, free SF shuttle, onsite dry cleaning, haircuts, car detailing, minor car maintenance, massages, redbull fridges all over!) - Extremely competitive benefits package

Cons

- Explosive growth means office is short on space. Plans are in place to fix this but campus might be split up until a permanent home is found :( - Massive hiring leads to a somewhat rushed onboarding experience. Few "official" social events to acclimate new hires but that changes once you get to know people in the office

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.
