Pros

Great problems to solve. Great data to work with. Great potential in becoming the next big thing. Teammates with high hiring bar.

Cons

inter team politics senior management lack of focus Too much emphasis on non core business items. Running behind the next hot thing before perfecting existing ones. Kill all legacy systems and become a web 2.5 company as it should be.

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.
