Excellent benefits.
- 50% 401k match up to the federal limit. If you contribute $18,000, LinkedIn will put in $9,000, and you'll be 100% vested immediately.
- 100% of all medical, dental, vision, etc. premiums are covered by LinkedIn.
- Free breakfast and lunch every day, and dinner four days a week.
- $2,000 a year to use for child care, pet care, personal trainers, massages, tennis lessons, etc.
Lots of smart people.
The development tools can be pretty terrible. The leadership for the Tools Engineering org is pretty bad. Many days have been wasted fiddling with some of the development tools. There is also an unhealthy obsession with building things from scratch as opposed to just using the open source versions. There are some things that are being built that we clearly do not have expertise in and which have excellent open source versions.
Please stop building things from scratch when there are excellent open source versions.
