Pros

- Still some good people left (but they are also on their way out) - Good Office perks (lunch, gym) - Immediate peers are respectful and pleasant to work with (but can't say that about my reporting chain)

Cons

- Weak Senior leadership. Current CEO (Ryan R) and his team do not have a strong understanding of market. - Heavy focus on revenue without any care of whats a good customer experience - Feels like Forced layoffs in the form of PIP quotas. no proper Annual comp increase is forcing good people to leave - There has been months of indecisiveness in the form of whether they will layoff, flatten managers. It is causing a lot of angst and stress amongst employees. - The CEO & His team have not addressed any of the tough questions in Company All Hands, scripted answers and heavy lack of transparency. - Amongst management (Dirtector+) there is no regard for good managers - It has become extremely political where Sr. Leadership favors middle managers that has worked with them before. A lot of discrimination during this year calibrations across the company. - Has become a sweatshop without the perks of good compensation

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.
