Where mediocrity meets politics - Software Engineer LinkedIn Employee Review

- LinkedIn is not an engineering driven company. - Lots of antiquated technologies and plenty of technical debt. - Level of talent is very low. B players hiring C players. - Middle and upper management is extremely political - Pretty heavy brain drain: most talented engineers leave after their 1 year cliff - Overall, engineers are overpaid for their level of talent. Most people are content with the terrible state of things, as long as it's not hurting their careers or paychecks.
