Pros

Jeff is a very good leader. His directs also bring very good direction to the team. The Bangalore office is a very good workplace with lots of benefits and great facilities.

Cons

I was in the organization for about 11/2 years and my frustration grew every single day with the bureaucracy here in GCO. The managers in my team are very difficult to work with and they love to command over their people. The direct managers spend more time gossiping with each other and managers of other teams. They either spend time traveling or taking photographs. The M2s sit in a corner together all day doing nothing. It's better to have one of them instead of two as they both are together all the time doing the same thing. Senior Manager never comes to office but when he comes he is at the smoke zone. Lots of feedback is provided in skip level meeting but there is no action taken. Everyone on the team is frustrated but no one has the courage to talk since we are snubbed if we voice our opinion. The Director does not see all this since he is not in this office and only hears what comes from these managers which is biased. They are not doing anything to keep talent in Bangalore, a lot of them will leave soon if this continues.

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.
