Pros

I didn't know that much about LinkedIn before I accepted an internship there, just that it was considered a top company. But wow, the way they treat us is amazing.

Everyone I've worked with is brilliant, and the facilities and tech are world-class. The company is large enough to have every resource imaginable, but small enough that everything you work on feels mission-critical.

LinkedIn is an amazing place to get started in a career. There's a strong network with other tech companies among the engineers.

Cons

It's still a big company, and there are hierarchical structures in place that can make work feel a bit rigid, but that just comes with scale.

No one is sure how the Microsoft deal will play out exactly in the future, although it hasn't changed anything yet.

Advice to Management

Don't pull back! You have a wonderful recruitment and internship program here. The company has invested in us, and we notice!
