Pros

- Caring and compassionate coworkers - Fantastic benefits - Competitive pay The people here still make this place a great place to work. You feel like you’re talking with genuinely empathetic and kind individuals who care about your well-being. Benefits are still absolutely fantastic, and while pay is lagging, it’s still very competitive.

Cons

The glory days pre-COVID have eroded, really ever since the new CEO came on board. Immediately experienced our first set of layoffs in August of 2020, and while that was communicated as a very painful but necessary step, the company has since become addicted to them, with two large layoffs in 2023 and many more small shuttering of teams. This results in a workforce constantly afraid of being next on the chopping block. The work grind is also very real, with constant changes in focus and pressure placed on sales and other functions to never miss goals or face a PIP. Very much a “what will you do for me next” culture rather than taking in the achievements made by incredible talent. ERGs used to be a core focus of the company, but now feel like an afterthought.

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.
