Pros

- Caring and compassionate coworkers - Fantastic benefits - Competitive pay The people here still make this place a great place to work. You feel like you’re talking with genuinely empathetic and kind individuals who care about your well-being. Benefits are still absolutely fantastic, and while pay is lagging, it’s still very competitive.

Cons

The glory days pre-COVID have eroded, really ever since the new CEO came on board. Immediately experienced our first set of layoffs in August of 2020, and while that was communicated as a very painful but necessary step, the company has since become addicted to them, with two large layoffs in 2023 and many more small shuttering of teams. This results in a workforce constantly afraid of being next on the chopping block. The work grind is also very real, with constant changes in focus and pressure placed on sales and other functions to never miss goals or face a PIP. Very much a “what will you do for me next” culture rather than taking in the achievements made by incredible talent. ERGs used to be a core focus of the company, but now feel like an afterthought.

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.
