Pros

Base pay is good. Benefits are great. New products and product enhancements are solid.

Cons

-There are no stock refreshers without a promotion and promotions are few and far between. You need to hit your number and because Sales Finance is horrible at setting targets you need a miracle. -Commission structure has become an absolute joke. You get paid 40% of your commission for hitting 80%. Then 80-100% is 3x multiplier to get you to that full 100%. The really egregious part though is the targets and the lack of consistency in how they are given out. One half you can hit 120%, and the next you can hit 50%. Sales Finance is laughable at setting goals and truly worst in class. -Management creates performative non-material work for you to validate their jobs. -Career opportunities are non-existent. Mobility is non-existent. If you want to try and move upward or to another team, it's held against you. Your manager layers in more quota for you to save the numbers for the other team members who will stay.

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.
