LinkedIn's like a perfect little bubble. Everyone is super nice and friendly, and the culture is great! The company really cares about the wellness of its employees, especially during COVID-19. Benefits are amazing. Engineers are empowered to be independent and make critical decisions. The company is pretty mature, so you'll learn a lot working on very large-scale projects. The culture also strongly encourages craftsmanship, so you get to build things the right way without hacking around to meet deadlines.
Because LinkedIn is already such a big player, it faces similar problems as other big companies.
Things are slower because there are more processes, and almost everything you touch affects a bunch of other teams, so migration efforts become super challenging.
But don't get me wrong, taking things slow is necessary and it's better in the long run.
If you're used to a more fast-paced engineering culture, LinkedIn may not be the right place for you.
