LinkedIn

• Offers a really good balance between work and life.
• Offers a really good benefits package.
• Smart and friendly people to work with (good culture).
• Challenging problems if you are motivated to discover and work on them.

• Depending on the team, you could be positioned for more professional growth than others.
• Work can often be reactionary versus proactive, depending on the team.
• You can do little to no development or mostly development; again, depending on the team you are on. It's a pro or con based on what you would prefer.
• Growth potential is based on org/company impact. This is unfairly tied directly to a manager's ability to plan and defend funding of IC resources to work on impact-creating opportunities.

Consider career growth KPIs to account for a team's ability to make an impact.

Ensure the team's ability to be reactive/proactive isn't hindering the IC's ability to make an impact.
