Pros

One of the only companies to offer me a higher salary than asked instead of haggling, cafeteria serves 3 high-quality meals a day, and what the CEO is most concerned about in business is "managing compassionately." On top of that, you go to work everyday knowing that you're helping people connect and find economic opportunity.

Cons

Like any Silicon Valley company, the 40-hour workweek is a relic of a bygone era--although I see higher ups sometimes go to bat for people being able to go home at a decent hour or take a vacation without work emergencies cropping up.

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.
