Where mediocrity meets politics
Where mediocrity meets politics
- Work/life balance
- Good food
LinkedIn is not an engineering-driven company.
There are lots of antiquated technologies and plenty of technical debt.
The level of talent is very low, with B players hiring C players.
Middle and upper management is extremely political.
There is a pretty heavy brain drain, with most talented engineers leaving after their 1-year cliff.
Overall, engineers are overpaid for their level of talent. Most people are content with the terrible state of things, as long as it's not hurting their careers or paychecks.
