How would rate LinkedIn vs FAANG? Is working at FAANG much better in terms of benefits, team quality, future career prospects and compensation?
I've never worked at LinkedIn so I can't say for sure. But it's almost certainly the same.
The culture at LinkedIn has been amazing. Iâve been here 4+ years get good refreshers, good ownership, jumped multiple levels, and great work life balance. We have two weeks a year we are paid on shutdown with all The other standard vacations days and DTO (unlimited paid time off) I took a month off last year and did not get any trouble for it.
You need to first rank how FAANG stacks against each other. Benefits: G and FB offer best benefits of FANG. Li has equal and in some cases better benefits. Amazon offers worst benefits. WLB: MSFT is best (not technically FAANG), followed by G. Li is closer to MSFT than G. Compensation: Netflix pays best followed by FB, then G. Li is probably closer to FB, at least with initial offer. Not sure about refreshers. Future career prospects: LI might not be as âprestigiousâ but will open up same doors as the other companies within FANG. If you take blind polls at face value, order usually goes G>Fb>Netflix/Apple>Amazon Team quality: Not sure there is an order as itâs highly dependent on team within each company.
If you have skills in high demand, Apple can pay more than LI. Source: I rejected LI offer to take an Apple offer. Another team member is also Staff Eng. from LI. Apple do have cash and will pay if have to. Apple offers for lower levels, new grads are low, though.
TLDR: Supply and demand.
LinkedIn seems equal or better than FANG across most workplace characteristics (wlb, comp, culture). The problem is that the type of work is kind of meh
How are LinkedIn refreshers? Can someone share numbers?

LinkedIn comp on par with Google and better than FB? Are you sure?
Based on my experience and blind data yes! But Google overall can pay slightly more.
