Shout out to LinkedIn China
Software Developer Intern • Former Employee
Beijing, Beijing, China
September 10, 2019
Pros: My colleagues are very friendly, patient, and technically competent.
I was an intern working at LinkedIn China in the iOS team. The working hours are flexible, and the working environment is like heaven in China's 996 atmosphere.
After a week, I left. The company has a brand new dining hall and a furnished front desk.
The cross-team building is also extraordinary, as long as you stay open.
So, if anyone wants to get a job as an SWE in China, LinkedIn is the go-to place!
Cons: Due to time and location differences, the back-and-forth communication cost between the Sunnyvale office and the China office is large.

WLB is good, growth is decent, but not enough room to explore
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
January 15, 2021
Pros: Recently graduated from college and started sometime in summer 2020.
* Good WLB
* Decent growth (better than Amazon, Microsoft)
Cons: - Slow work pace
- Hard to explore and move freely between stacks
There is not a lot of room to move between stacks often times (backend, frontend, ML).
Not being able to focus on 1 stack for an extended period of time doesn't really help me understand in what direction I want to define my career, so that's somewhat of a disappointment to me.
Overall, work pace is relatively slow, which can be enjoyable to some, but personally I'm starting to crave some chaos and speed for faster learning.
