Pros
LinkedIn has a strong reputation, and working there can be a resume booster. There are opportunities to learn, but mostly through hands-on experience rather than structured development. Some teams have great people, but the experience varies depending on your role and employment status.
Cons
Career growth can feel limited/is, especially for non-engineering roles. The company fosters a strong culture, but contractors may experience fewer benefits and job security. Work expectations are high, but guidance can be lacking, and organizational changes can create uncertainty. - Career progression can feel unclear or slow, especially for contractors and non-engineering roles. - Contractors have fewer benefits, less job security, and limited access to internal resources compared to full-time employees. - Processes can be overly bureaucratic, making it difficult to drive change or improve workflows. - High expectations but little clarity on how to succeed beyond hitting metrics. - Workload can be demanding, and restructuring can create instability. - Compensation may not always reflect workload, particularly in customer-facing roles.
