Pros

Excellent benefits, and I don't mean the free food. The healthcare, 401k matching, parental leave, etc is really great and one of the main reasons I've stayed around so long.

Cons

Things seem shiny and exciting at first. After awhile you see how poorly trained some of the middle management it. Teams and orgs are constantly being restructured - someone always has a "better" way to do things, which means the individual contributer employees sustain the force of the constant changes. It's difficult in many orgs to get promoted. Lots of work to do, but little reward. The recruiting and hiring process is SO LACKING. I've applied to several internal positions, and each recruiter I've dealt with knew absolutely nothing about me before speaking - and I mean nothing. As time goes on, I'm less and less proud of our product. The highest complaint drivers never get changed. So many things I wish we could do differently

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.
