The engineers who like to design and create products are leaving the company in droves now that growth seems to be tapering off. The folks who are still around are more into "leadership" and "mentorship" than doing real work. This creates a vicious cycle where the engineers who like to push stuff take on more and more and eventually realize that they might be better off at a startup.
All in all, the things which made LinkedIn a great, fun place to work are going away. I think it might have something to do with the fact that our profits are minuscule and continuing to eke it out at our size is a challenge for current management.
