How is Linkedin as a company to work for as SWE?
What kind of engineering challenges they have? They’re already miles behind as a social network compared to Facebook. Their messenger is broken for the most part. I know they pay well and wlb is good, but as a product or tech is it even interesting? Tc:240k
Can you break down ur TC?
Yoe?
LinkedIn isn’t a social network so it shouldn’t be compared to FB. It’s a professional network to help people get jobs and connect with other professionals. As far as our engineering challenges read our engineering blog. If these projects don’t interest you then it’s not the right place for you to work. https://engineering.linkedin.com/blog
Number of days off at linkedin is unmatched. 17 days holidays+unlimited pto (around 4 weeks I would say) + inday which is 1 day a month to do whatever you want (12 days total) That's like 2.5 months off a year
I like it. Less than 1.5 years there and it’s been good to me. The people are smart and get shit done. I also like the perks, the food, and the pay. If you are starting a family then it even gets better. My first year was quite busy but I came out of a Satff; so kind of worth it for me. Now I get to work on more things outside my team and foundational stuff.
Pretty good, a nice place to work
Good hiring bar, close to Google and Facebook. So you get to work with smart people. Pay also comparable to Google and Facebook. Food better than Facebook, almost as good as Google. But a much better WLB. These are enough reasons for anyone to want to work for LinkedIn, but if you want more, there's a lot of ML work going on. I woukd choose LinkedIn over Fakebook any day.
Food is way better than Google.
Google has full service restaurant Badal.
