- Open and positive attitude, - Your work touches millions of people in a meaningful way, - People around you are smart but not arrogant, - If you have important things to say, you can talk to anyone, and people will listen, - Horizontal mobility: you can do different things within the company, - Not too much politics

Cons

- Space is sometimes a problem (more buildings are built in Mountain View and Sunnyvale so this could become better soon), - It is not always clear who is responsible for what, - People are running too fast which creates duplication of effort,

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.
