LinkedIn Values and Culture
Members Come First - Candidates are also our members, leave them
feeling great about LinkedIn regardless of our decision to hire or not.
Be compassionate, offer to take a candidate for a quick walk, for a
break, offer snack/beverages if they look tired.
Relationships Matter - Candidates will either advocate us, say
nothing about us, or speak negatively about us based on how we treat
them. Glassdoor.com and other sites/blogs keep all companies on
their toes in terms of reputation and sharing stories.
Open, Honest and Constructive - consider this as you answer the
candidate’s questions and as you write your own feedback after the
interview.
Demand Excellence - consider this not only of the candidate but
yourself regarding how you conduct the interview... don’t focus too
much on technical/analytical skills so they overshadow your
assessment of the candidate’s creativity and vision.
Take Intelligent Risks - If the candidate doesn’t have the experience
in the talent solutions space or social media, or if you initially rate as B
+ rather than A+, as yourself if they have the raw materials and
potential to become an A+ within a short timeframe.
Act Like an Owner - Talent is our most important asset. We expect
our employees to act as an owner in each decision they make, no
matter how big or small.

People/Recruiting/Hiring
● Best people produce best outcomes
● Need to keep bar high in the hiring/recruiting
process
● Need to understand our limitations and bring
outside expertise where needed
● Need to be flexible in our resource allocation (it is
okay/desirable to move around the organization to
apply key personnel to key projects)
● Onboarding/Ongoing Training/Mentoring are key.
Why technologists want to work at Linkedin
● Having a positive/lasting impact on the world by developing products  that create
economic opportunities for people on a global basis.
● Building systems that scale and perform is paramount (think 10X).
● Data drives our solutions: Searching, querying, analysis of this data in real-time, near-
real time, or batch creates value for our users, and our paying customers.
● The business models (Subscription, Corporations, Advertising) are a diverse source of
revenue that require real value propositions, and technical excellence in delivery.
● Combining speed of execution with quality solutions, while still pushing the envelope on
new/improved features requires engineering skill sets that are unheard of in traditional
enterprise computing, and are hard to find even in the Internet.
● Engineers will constantly learn/use new technologies to create leading edge solutions.
● Great engineers want to work with great engineers.
● Constant improvement requires new talent/additional expertise to solve new/difficult
challenges.
● When you come to work here, you will, by definition, have a large impact. ~ 150
technologists today
● Access to the senior leadership is real, actual, and actionable. CEO->VP->Director-
>Manager->Engineer
Site Up -> Company Up
What do we want?

● Scrum vs. Waterfall: not the question; want best quality in timely fashion; good
outcomes depend on good engineers + good engineering practices (AND function
required here)
● Prioritize the list of Infrastructure + Product features merge sorted: We apply
resources against that list, and the result is 2 clear choices, either add more people
or cut the line higher so that some things don’t get done (ideally there is no
distinction between features and infrastructure in our shop)
● Will have multiple serving data centers running: ETA likely > = 1 year
● Architecture: we will tease apart dependencies for our 180 subsystems so that we
can have SLA’s for each one that we can trust and adhere to. All calling services
must be resilient to failure of called services. (Service oriented architecture)
● The Data scaling concern demands a solution: Examples: Comm, DWH, volume of
members, search index.
● Reminder: We have scaled this most excellent service successfully to this point.
Now we need to go to the next level. Think 10X and 100X. How would we solve for
that?
Current Release Process

Release Process Gap – Changes Needed

● The Current Process – What we do today
● Testing earlier for features: Example: the 26 feature branches in R951.
● Stabilizing the code base for integration
● Practice on staging
● Deploy a well tested reliable solution on prod
● Concern with this model
● It’s a long cycle (see previous slide) 2.5 week duration due to merges, compatibility testing, configuration
validation, heavy track team involvement etc…
● We still have large releases with many dependencies (some of which are not understood) which increases our
risk
● Inconsistent tooling across environments (Do we have enough envs?)
● Many release processes are still manual
● Post release hangover that says fix on fail: Bug fix releases are an assumed part of the Release Process. Our
goal should be to eliminate the need for this step.
● What do we want?
● Shorter cycle
● Smaller releases with “no” dependencies decreasing the risk. Each component released must be able to be
pushed and rolled back if needed.
● Automation for push-button releases (What if we were deploying to 5,000 servers not 500?)
● Don’t need to be fixing on fail because there are no bugs introduced into Prod
● Release when ready: (What does this mean?) a) Don’t release it on schedule because it didn’t pass our tests
OR b) Release any module anytime with low risk. I want B.

The Bullseye
Jeff’s articulation of LinkedIn’s bullseye: Talent Solutions
Description of the business: Passive Recruiting and how it works.
Main point is the clarity with which we chose this target, and were
willing to subordinate almost everything but user growth to it.
User Growth
User Growth understood as:
Viral tuning
SEO and Public Profiles
Some known user value (network updates via email, receiving job
offers)
Some user value experiments (news, app platform, etc.)
Revenue Growth
Main focus on revenue growth will be growth of field sales
Reasoning for this
Some online sales, but not for big-$$ accounts
Other revenue sources beginning to enter the mix, but not core
Strategic Moats
Professional Identity would be primary moat
Defined roughly as size of network x quality of average profile
Main contributors were user growth and user activity.
Also first-mover advantage on passive recruiting would allow us to
lock in customers.
But we also felt we needed to respond to Facebook’s F8
announcement, which might have created a competitor built on top of
FB.
Future strategic assets
Non-Jobs brand
Potential discover of additional value propositions
improves brand,
Drives growth and profile moats
builds additional platforms for future businesses
Summary
A growing network of professionals with valuable profiles, driven by
viral tuning and value experimentation
Will form the foundation for a sales-driven business focused on large
enterprise accounts…
And we will do some competitive blocking on App Platforms.

W/W jobs increase driven by 10% more
spend per buyer due to job pack purchases
and 8% better conversion
For Jobs on Wednesday, 8/19: Conversion
decreased 9% W/W but spend per buyer
increased 6% and traffic to the flow
increased 3%. We’re investigating the root
cause of the conversion decreases that
we’ve been seeing.
New subs bookings growth driven by
greater number of annual plans purchased
relative to monthly plans (Business YR up
24% wk/wk and Business Plus YR up 18%
wk/wk)
“W/W declines driven by drops in
conversion and spend per buyer. All hands
are on deck investigating if something in
last week's release or Saturday's Oracle
upgrade is causing this.”
Online Job sales were down –17% Y/Y at
$39.7K but are trending towards being up
Y/Y in the next 3 weeks.
Page Views came in at 45.8M for Tuesday,
the largest day since 27th January and the
second highest day ever, up 78% Y/Y.
Signups came in at 108.5K for Tuesday, the
largest day since 27th January.
The spike in the year over year numbers
towards the end of May 09 is due to a site
outage in May 08

  • 53. Leadership, Culture, Hiring, Process 2008-2010
  • 60. © 2009 LinkedIn All rights reserved. Confidential 60 LinkedIn Values and Culture Members Come First - Candidates are also our members, leave them feeling great about LinkedIn regardless of our decision to hire or not. Be compassionate, offer to take a candidate for a quick walk, for a break, offer snack/beverages if they look tired. Relationships Matter - Candidates will either advocate us, say nothing about us, or speak negatively about us based on how we treat them. Glassdoor.com and other sites/blogs keep all companies on their toes in terms of reputation and sharing stories. Open, Honest and Constructive - consider this as you answer the candidate’s questions and as you write your own feedback after the interview. Demand Excellence - consider this not only of the candidate but yourself regarding how you conduct the interview... don’t focus too much on technical/analytical skills so they overshadow your assessment of the candidate’s creativity and vision. Take Intelligent Risks - If the candidate doesn’t have the experience in the talent solutions space or social media, or if you initially rate as B + rather than A+, as yourself if they have the raw materials and potential to become an A+ within a short timeframe. Act Like an Owner - Talent is our most important asset. We expect our employees to act as an owner in each decision they make, no matter how big or small. Transformation of world, company and self Integrity Collaboration Humor Results
  • 62. People/Recruiting/Hiring ● Best people produce best outcomes ● Need to keep bar high in the hiring/recruiting process ● Need to understand our limitations and bring outside expertise where needed ● Need to be flexible in our resource allocation (it is okay/desirable to move around the organization to apply key personnel to key projects) ● Onboarding/Ongoing Training/Mentoring are key.
  • 63. Why technologists want to work at Linkedin ● Having a positive/lasting impact on the world by developing products  that create economic opportunities for people on a global basis. ● Building systems that scale and perform is paramount (think 10X). ● Data drives our solutions: Searching, querying, analysis of this data in real-time, near- real time, or batch creates value for our users, and our paying customers. ● The business models (Subscription, Corporations, Advertising) are a diverse source of revenue that require real value propositions, and technical excellence in delivery. ● Combining speed of execution with quality solutions, while still pushing the envelope on new/improved features requires engineering skill sets that are unheard of in traditional enterprise computing, and are hard to find even in the Internet. ● Engineers will constantly learn/use new technologies to create leading edge solutions. ● Great engineers want to work with great engineers. ● Constant improvement requires new talent/additional expertise to solve new/difficult challenges. ● When you come to work here, you will, by definition, have a large impact. ~ 150 technologists today ● Access to the senior leadership is real, actual, and actionable. CEO->VP->Director- >Manager->Engineer
  • 64. Site Up -> Company Up
  • 65. What do we want?
 ● Scrum vs. Waterfall: not the question; want best quality in timely fashion; good outcomes depend on good engineers + good engineering practices (AND function required here) ● Prioritize the list of Infrastructure + Product features merge sorted: We apply resources against that list, and the result is 2 clear choices, either add more people or cut the line higher so that some things don’t get done (ideally there is no distinction between features and infrastructure in our shop) ● Will have multiple serving data centers running: ETA likely > = 1 year ● Architecture: we will tease apart dependencies for our 180 subsystems so that we can have SLA’s for each one that we can trust and adhere to. All calling services must be resilient to failure of called services. (Service oriented architecture) ● The Data scaling concern demands a solution: Examples: Comm, DWH, volume of members, search index. ● Reminder: We have scaled this most excellent service successfully to this point. Now we need to go to the next level. Think 10X and 100X. How would we solve for that?
  • 67. Release Process Gap – Changes Needed
 ● The Current Process – What we do today ● Testing earlier for features: Example: the 26 feature branches in R951. ● Stabilizing the code base for integration ● Practice on staging ● Deploy a well tested reliable solution on prod ● Concern with this model ● It’s a long cycle (see previous slide) 2.5 week duration due to merges, compatibility testing, configuration validation, heavy track team involvement etc… ● We still have large releases with many dependencies (some of which are not understood) which increases our risk ● Inconsistent tooling across environments (Do we have enough envs?) ● Many release processes are still manual ● Post release hangover that says fix on fail: Bug fix releases are an assumed part of the Release Process. Our goal should be to eliminate the need for this step. ● What do we want? ● Shorter cycle ● Smaller releases with “no” dependencies decreasing the risk. Each component released must be able to be pushed and rolled back if needed. ● Automation for push-button releases (What if we were deploying to 5,000 servers not 500?) ● Don’t need to be fixing on fail because there are no bugs introduced into Prod ● Release when ready: (What does this mean?) a) Don’t release it on schedule because it didn’t pass our tests OR b) Release any module anytime with low risk. I want B.

  • 78. The Bullseye Jeff’s articulation of LinkedIn’s bullseye: Talent Solutions Description of the business: Passive Recruiting and how it works. Main point is the clarity with which we chose this target, and were willing to subordinate almost everything but user growth to it.
  • 79. User Growth User Growth understood as: Viral tuning SEO and Public Profiles Some known user value (network updates via email, receiving job offers) Some user value experiments (news, app platform, etc.)
  • 80. Revenue Growth Main focus on revenue growth will be growth of field sales Reasoning for this Some online sales, but not for big-$$ accounts Other revenue sources beginning to enter the mix, but not core
  • 81. Strategic Moats Professional Identity would be primary moat Defined roughly as size of network x quality of average profile Main contributors were user growth and user activity. Also first-mover advantage on passive recruiting would allow us to lock in customers. But we also felt we needed to respond to Facebook’s F8 announcement, which might have created a competitor built on top of FB.
  • 82. Future strategic assets Non-Jobs brand Potential discover of additional value propositions improves brand, Drives growth and profile moats builds additional platforms for future businesses
  • 83. Summary A growing network of professionals with valuable profiles, driven by viral tuning and value experimentation Will form the foundation for a sales-driven business focused on large enterprise accounts… And we will do some competitive blocking on App Platforms.
