FLAANG?

I tend to notice a lot of goodwill toward LinkedIn regarding culture, compensation, WLB, prestige, tech, people, etc. on blind. Excluding stocks, I'm curious to see how it would fare against FAANG, in terms of desirability to work there. How does LinkedIn compare against FAANG, based on criteria above? Please only choose up to 2 answers of where you'd like to work.

I've heard nothing but bad about linked in on blind. Idk where you are getting that from. Also people need to get over the acronym already..

Polling suggests otherwise @Xhsrvhyds Generally agree about FANG being used often without proper context.

I suggested not to use stock as metric because that's how Cramer coined FANG. I wanted a poll based purely on desirability of working there using the other big companies for comparison. Although, I agree it's tough to overlook stock because it is a factor when choosing a place of employment.

But why???

Its a subjective thing... nothing against other companies. I really like the kind of work they do and how they are vocal about it on their tech blog.

Stop trying to change FANG. It is FANG for a reason.

Hey, no disrespect at all! I tried to exclude stock from the poll and base it on other factors. I have msft stock btw :)

It surprises me how many people voted for Amazon, Apple, and Netflix... You guys live into another world...

One vote with the restriction of not voting your own company would be interesting.
