Pros

perks, benefits, people, culture, work-life balance, mission-driven

Cons

I feel as though there is a tendency to underpay people who have been with the company for several years. After a certain time you fall behind market value and have newer employees come in making much more than you. I don't see where the loyalty is. Nor is this the best strategy for retention. Despite exceeding expectations for 14 qrts. in a row and being among the top 5 in hires in that time frame, all they can tell me is that it will "take some time" to get me where I should be. I have a good rapport with management there too, so this strikes me as odd and has left me scratching my head. I've voiced my opinion on the topic and negotiated to no avail, Hard to leave such a good company, but I guess there comes a time.

Pros

Amazing perks and nice people. Perks: I was able to purchase new luggage with the help of some internal points for my performance. Unfortunately, I have not traveled since I left the company with the luggage. Travel also changed after I took the job and I was a global traveler.

Cons

I ended up quitting my job to look for a new job in 2024. The exit from the company was extremely poorly managed by my manager and the HR staff. I had a very difficult time networking after I left the job which is funny given that it is a social networking platform. I felt like there was still a presence from the company even after joining She Runs It, a third-party networking platform for women. I expected more from LinkedIn during my departure. I was unaware what impact working at this company could have on my career. They should really help their employees with their next role and applying as a lot of the applications occur on the platform. There was only an opportunity to interview and reach out to people that worked for LinkedIn at B2B, even though I have B2C experience. AI has really complicated the process as well with writing etc. since leaving.
