This person had posted linkedin was shit a few years ago and I think they were onto something: [Blind] Check out this post! LinkedIn is shit! (Tech Industry) https://www.teamblind.com/us/s/YoekfvYq Now it's even shittier: fake PIPs and pip quotas, bad tech stack, shit WLB, avg engineers and really shit leadership (heavy bloat on both IC and management leadership). Don't join Linkedin it's a fast sinking ship like its blind pulse. We are mostly looking to get rid of people in the US and expand in Bangalore. Everyone is working long hours coz everything is a priority and everyone is seeking mental health. We are a gang of about to go postal folks now. #tech #linkedin
Agree, LinkedIn is garbage. Found my current job on there and it sucks hard
You can't have a good wlb and then expect innovations.
We don't have good work life balance at all, everyone is stressed and is on the verge of a mental health crisis! Our WLB is shit too.
Completely wrong, under pressure everyone completes task at hand with mysql instead of creating kafka
Hot take: we are all Amazon now.
Amazon is way better: they have focus, LinkedIn has nothing but chaos it's been that way since the last three years!
Even block?
LinkedIn has free food right. I want that badly, free TC increase
Not worth the mental torture plus the food ain't that great plus commute plus higher col, it not that easy of a black and white comparison.
Thank you for posting this OP. Everything in your post as well as the old one is soo true. It’s just 10 times worse in my org these days as compared to the old days. I also feel like I’m non-desirable to hire outside because of the outdated tech stack. It’s funny how OP from the old post mentioned about graphql adoption which is far from being done yet. Lmao
Omg! I feel you, it's the same on my org too! It's been crazy and we get nothing done with a ton of added on top of everything! People just look at LinkedIn as this paradise land of WLB and free food but it is much more crazy in reality. And haha yessss on graphql!
Why does microsoft let linkedin split off to IPO? LI once to be a great company in the bay area, it becomes worsing under microsoft, microsoft is one of the worst company in the history, it has no culture at all, everyone have to work as slave, let's free Li and let's it back to fly high.
Naa this is just making of our bad leadership now + some msft pressure. But mostly our leadership.
how is fake pip bad? i suppose real pip is worse?
They fake pip you, you get tensed and over deliver and make it out of pip then they just lay you off!
Hi op, this is Li learn from Amazon.
dont do it OP, i was hoping to leave Amazon for Linkedin when hiring opens up again.
Don't do it! I promise you this place sux!
+1 to OP. Yeah you can join LI, if you want to repeat AMZN all over again. LI is headed in AMZN’s footsteps. It’s a PIP a shop now.
lol. Tech stack is even worse now, if you can believe that. ML infra org somehow has an OKR of making every user as miserable as possible. They try to maximize their org’s “yoy misery growth”
This is not just the issue with the company. It is an issue of the market, no demand for jobs, the interest rate is too high, and entirely economic loss momentum.
Nope, checkout the post from 2 years ago linked, we were shit even before it, now just the floodgates opened and many folks have their eyes open.
