Pros

Jeff is a very good leader. His directs also bring very good direction to the team. The Bangalore office is a very good workplace with lots of benefits and great facilities.

Cons

I was in the organization for about 11/2 years and my frustration grew every single day with the bureaucracy here in GCO. The managers in my team are very difficult to work with and they love to command over their people. The direct managers spend more time gossiping with each other and managers of other teams. They either spend time traveling or taking photographs. The M2s sit in a corner together all day doing nothing. It's better to have one of them instead of two as they both are together all the time doing the same thing. Senior Manager never comes to office but when he comes he is at the smoke zone. Lots of feedback is provided in skip level meeting but there is no action taken. Everyone on the team is frustrated but no one has the courage to talk since we are snubbed if we voice our opinion. The Director does not see all this since he is not in this office and only hears what comes from these managers which is biased. They are not doing anything to keep talent in Bangalore, a lot of them will leave soon if this continues.

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.
