Vantaggi
- As soon as you start your job here, you are overwhelmed with a variety of different perks and benefits. Some teams have great WLB and people take ample time off. - The salary is competitive and the promotion trajectory is straightforward. - The office amenities and the food are nice
Svantaggi
- Almost every LinkedIn-built internal tool has terrible user experience: slow, unreliable (crash, error), terrible user interface - There are constant service outages that stand in the way of work and hurt productivity - Most repos' trunk is constantly broken - Platform and framework teams are understaffed. Oftentimes you depend on their help to get yourself and your team unblocked, but they "don't have bandwidth". They ask you to create a ticket for them, but it might take 1-2 months for them to look at it - Many people lack communication skills (in part due to severe English unfamiliarity). We are supposed to speak English at work, but the hiring criteria don't seem to prioritize English skills. In meetings, it's almost impossible to understand some people and even using audio transcription doesn't work. - There is no culture of timeliness. People are constantly late for meetings and meetings always run over the allotted time. People tend to interrupt speakers in the middle of the presentation to ask a question or to raise a concern instead of waiting until the end
