Pros: 1. Culture: LinkedIn has an incredibly healthy culture. The work-life balance is very fair: full-time employees have unlimited paid time off, and the company also provides many opportunities to rest and unwind. There are plenty of paid holidays, monthly "InDays" where employees can participate in organized activities or take the day off, etc. 2. Very collaborative, talented colleagues. The people I have worked with here are kind and eager to help out. My manager is supportive and demonstrates care for my well-being. 3. WFH flexibility: Up until now, LinkedIn has not had any return-to-office mandates. I personally really appreciate going to the office and seeing coworkers, but it is also incredible to have the flexibility to decide which days I'll work from the office and which days I'll work elsewhere.

Cons: 1. Career growth. In my time at LinkedIn so far, it's been tough to find meaningful, impactful projects. Part of this is out of anyone's control: due to the tough economic situation, my team has been working on fewer new features. I've been trying to make the most of this situation by seeking opportunities to learn new skills and broaden my scope, and thankfully, there have been many ways to do that here. Promotions here are challenging to get.

Pros: Great food, great benefits, interesting work.

Cons: Lots of custom tooling was required, slowing things down.

Pros: The pay is very great.

Cons: At the end of the day, it's still a job!
