Pros

- Strong technical and product leaders. - Hacker culture: Dive into another team's code and get your project moving. Monthly hack days. - Big impact. The definitive professional social network is now at critical mass. There are many worthwhile products and business lines to be built on top. LinkedIn is still in the early days of leveraging that network and data. - Members-first culture w/ an incredibly strong long-term vision. - Incredible growth creates many opportunities. - Culture of complete transparency. Bi-weekly company all-hands with the CEO.

Cons

- Generating lots of revenue means some teams have to move slower to make sure important systems don't go down.

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.
