Pros

Can still justify staying as it's still overall a decent culture when you compare it to other big tech companies, but it has really gone down the toilet over the years. Stick it out at if you don't care about professional growth and want to collect an okay paycheck. If you're hungry and early in your career, you should leave.

Cons

Stay away from LTS marketing. Highly political with "leaders" who have been at the company for too long and have gotten too comfortable for real innovation to take place. Favoritism is rampant and poor management is allowed to exist. Talented employees leave and colleagues who were doing great work but lacked visibility due to poor managers quietly fired.

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.
