Pros

Pay is competitive, perks are average for industry. This is a product driven company, as opposed to engineering (Google or Facebook) or design (apple).

Cons

Expect a total frat house. Seniors and leads in the early to mid 20s. Drink the cool aid and you'll fit in. As a technical program manager, you'll likely report into an engineering manager or director, who most likely knows absolutely nothing about program or project management. Or cares about your career or what you do. Linkedin does not value the project or program manager role, and there is a heavy bias to engineers are all that matter. In engineering, there is roughly 1 program manager to 50 engineers and you are treated like a ,general dogs body. If you enjoy doing admin work, this is for you. The career ladder is lovely, but bears absolutely no relation to reality. There is no leveling across the organization, so career progression and promotions are entirely a draw of luck based on your department, and not skill.

Pros

Very nice energy and actually care for interns

Cons

Not really much cons. Maybe infra is not good as other big tech but after all this is not a ai/ml company

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.
