Working at LinkedIn
I’ve worked at LinkedIn now for more than 2 1/2 years and I am still loving it. I think it is such a great place to work for many reasons, most of which boil down to our culture and values. I made a presentation to a group of Computer Science students at University of Texas Austin last year about my experience working at LinkedIn. I have shared those slides on SlideShare and have embedded them in this post. I hope you enjoy.

8 年I'm glad you enjoy your job at LI Kyle. A person is lucky if they can find employment they truly love from day to day. In the meantime, the rest of us out here continue to wonder what in holy hell is going on inside those LI walls. From here, it looks a lot like Chinese fire drill.

8 年I've tried to leave a comment on this post three times now. They were rather well thought out posts, thorough and perhaps a little lengthy. Each time that I was close to finishing, my browser crashed. In attempting to respond to a post that exhorts product usability, my irony meter exploded.

8 年Thak you for an inside look at LinkedIn. However, may I suggest your engineering teams and beta testers do more - perhaps longer duration or more strenuous testing - of new features before releasing them into the wild. Include more platforms - such as iPad - to your tests. It may simply be that you guys are too close to see things the user base will fail to assume/figure out. LinkedIn Help Center would be a great source of examples of UI confusion.
