Pros
Pros: - high pay - great office buildings - great food and amenities - overall decent people and decent culture
Cons
- Tier 2/3 people (few to no "A" players) - Poor executive leadership (takes no accountability, unrealistic expectations, constantly chasing Facebook + shiny objects) - Poor management. Most managers are Tier 2/3 from other companies, LinkedIn is almost no one's 'first choice' so it shows in the management - Company changed over the years. It is now very metrics oriented because the product is plateauing. That's why there are constantly layoffs; they need to continue profitability and squeezing. The glory days are over. It was a great company when Jeff Weiner was at the helm, and since then, has really gone down hill. Tread carefully. - Technology is abysmal. Old stacks and frameworks. Things that should take hours or days take weeks or months. And, all the "Ai" and novel things they are trying, are completely laughable "under the hood". Lot of manual/editorial curation...
