Pros

I worked for one of the big 4 accounting firms for 6 years across 2 continents and saw a lot of workplaces. None of them even came close to LinkedIn. It's not just about the benefits either (although they are seemingly endless) - The people who I get to work with are fantastic people, of extraordinarily high caliber.

Cons

I hate the commute - Silicon Valley might have all the cool companies, but getting from the city to work every day is a drag. As the traffic seemingly gets worse by the day it can take me over 4 hours door to door in commute time. LinkedIn does make it as bearable as possible though by providing free shuttle buses from the city which have desks and WiFi so at least the commute can be productive

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.
