Business Outlook
Pros
massive infrastructure -- a real-world playground for large-scale distributed systems to sharpen your technical fundamentals mature process -- broad learning and understanding how the entire distributed architecture and ecosystem stability & benefits --strong compensation, resources, and predictable structure, people cares about your personal growth work life balance -- not as good as before but still above average food -- Linkedin food is the best, period.
Cons
Bureaucracy & slowness -- Shipping anything substantial could feel glacial. Limited product ownership -- experimentation wasn’t rewarded the same way as stability. Frequent Re-org -- I worked in 2 teams, however, 3 tracks and 8 managers in total.
