Pros

-From the outside looking in, one of the most innovative, forward thinking companies in the valley. -Tech darling of wall street -Solid, visionary exec leadership who seem genuine, believable & competant -Transparency at the top -Free food and good perks

Cons

-Mid/lower management, (especially int he sales org) can be a BIG miss. -There are a few good sales managers but by and large, incompetency reigns supreme at this level. They have a sales manager with literally 2 years of sales experience, "trying" to lead tenured reps who've carried a bag for a decade. The result? Downfall of many reps due to "cultural clashes" -Post first week training, on boarding is nearly non-existent. Very cliquish and overall sense of negativity on the floor. -Little to no career development unless you're in the 23 year old crowd. -One of the most political environments I've encountered in my career

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.
