Everyone on blind simps for God of WLB Google, or peanut factory Microsoft. But in reality I've seen better pay with better WLB in anecdotal comments. I would say the list of good WLB companies are : Salesforce, Adobe, AirBNB, and the God of all WLB LinkedIn And the work isn't button and dial bs either. I remember listening to a tech talk about LinkedIns infrastructure team working on pipelines as a business offering. It sounded interesting to work on and a cool product. What other companies are good to work for relative to pay, WLB, and learning? #linkedin
Indeed has good wlb
Yeah I've heard Indeed was a good company to work for overall as well. iCIMS was pretty good when I was there in 2020 at Holmdel. Do you still work there? When I was leaving there was more influence from Vista in terms of managing and work techniques. I remember them adding some dumb commit count metric and some other things people didn't really ask for. Was still a good company, I just remember people, including myself, not liking the Vista influence
I still work there. I have few offers from other companies and still have a few onsites left. I'll be gone by end of July Icims is okay but engineers are leaving fast af since we are super underpaid. C suite is full of idiots. Vista/icims wanted to ipo but they couldn't due to economy so they sold part of icims off to another company
Shopify. Maybe Atlassian
Does LinkedIn offer unlimited PTO?
Yes. That + 2 weeks of company shutdown + 1 InDay per month + 1 wellness day off per month for the next few + summer half day Fridays.
Bro imma try real hard to come to linkedIn next
Raytheon has great WLB. 9/80 schedule is awesome. You can make that 8/80 if you want and have every Friday off. And even on the working days you can do jack shit half the time. Pay is shit though.
Raytheon is a classic butts in seat type of company though. Coming from someone who has worked there, WLB is good compared to other industries. But sucks compared to tech.
Agreed, but it's a lot better now with remote work. Unless you're on a project that needs to be in a classified lab you can wfh and chill.
Linkedin was god tier of WLB before the acquisition. Now it's meh
Do you work here? I have been very happy with my Wlb, it’s surely God tier for me. I have always been exceeded my perf if that matters
I don't know about before vs after acquisition but while the company does give plenty of days off in a year, the remaining days are quite intense in many teams, so as with many companies it depends on your team.
Splunk ?
@Satya 🥺
Qlik has a good wlb
How easy is it to transfer from Microsoft to LinkedIn? You know... since MSFT owns it...
Go through the same loop
The two companies operate almost independently. Given the pay difference, making it easier to move to LinkedIn would not make sense for MSFT because most of the latter would then sign up for it.
