LinkedIn Work Experiences
4.0
Great work, great leadership, and great culture
Senior Engineer • Current Employee
Sunnyvale, California, United States
August 1, 2022
Pros: Work, food, benefits, work culture. LinkedIn is very employee-focused.
Cons: Some of the pros are not applicable to all teams. Some teams have managers who do not know how to handle their positions and relationships with their teams. Being a manager is not for everyone.
2.0
It's a solid company
Senior Engineer • Current Employee
New York, New York, United States
May 30, 2021
Pros: Good team, good people, good office, good tasks.
Cons: It feels like it's hard to grow, and they have hired too many engineers.
2.0
Resume Builder, Toxic Culture
Senior Engineer • Former Employee
Sunnyvale, California, United States
December 23, 2020
Pros: - Product is relevant.
- Looks good on resume.
Cons: The lack of fresh blood in top leadership is really affecting the company.
A hierarchical organization coupled with a promotion-driven culture is creating a very toxic work environment where only bullies thrive. It's very hard to get ahead, as most promotions are based on favoritism and fluff. Weak leaders are easily fooled by bullies who are ready to do anything to get ahead.
There is no teamwork. Workers are in harsh competition with each other, and collaboration is a joke. HR has no power and it just sides with managers.
