Pros: Free food, which used to be great, is now mediocre. Good benefits.

Expectations change retroactively at the end of the performance review cycle. Engineering productivity is strictly measured with metrics that have been proven to be poor indicators of actual productivity, like PR counts and now also AI usage. The bar is constantly rising while pay is decreasing with fewer stock grants.

Pros: LinkedIn is a good company to work for.
