Pros

- A shared and uncompromising believe to conduct business with integrity and put member's first - Most people are goal oriented and very dedicated to bring LinkedIn mission and vision to life - Great benefits - Management cares about your well being - Best perks in town, but subpar compared with offices in other locations - Despite of acquisitions and multiple reorgs, the culture remains strong - Competitive salary - The overwhelmingly majority of people are friendly, helpful and respectful

Cons

- Talent retention seems an area that is neglected. There is a heavy focus in new talent and the sentiment you need to leave the company and come back in order to be able to grow is increasing - Some organizations and locations are stigmatized which results in less opportunities to grow - While LinkedIn's vision is to create economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce, it hasn't joined the ranks of Facebook and Google by removing college degree requirements for a lot of positions that experience could be a substitute - Some teams are becoming very hierarchical and there are few bad apples who use politics to accomplish personal agendas

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.
