Possibly orthogonal to this, but in the context of this site I am much less impressed by LinkedIn having interviewed there about six months ago. Though I thought I did pretty well, I didn't get an offer, but having learned the level of detail and expertise they were asking about and requiring of successful candidates, I can now balance that against what I see on the screen and intuit how bad their project designs are.

Call it sour grapes, but in hindsight it probably would have been a maddening place to work. Each section of the screen you see is built by a separate team with their own attendant functionality, so no matter what team you wind up working with, you're going to be faced with stupid decisions. I just deleted a list of UX problems, but I think we can all come up with our own.
