Pros

-- Great food -- Pay is good, as per and slightly better than market wage. But if you compare with a slightly smaller company, you will get paid more. -- Great office and infrastructure -- Free Cabs and Gym

Cons

-- Lot of politics, as usual in large companies -- Red tape and Backbiting -- Slow growth, you will grow faster elsewhere in smaller companies and will also get paid more but the cushion will be gone, if you decide to trade with it. -- Puppet HR team as usual. Don't expect anything different compared to Indian IT sweatshops. They will do surveys and other drama but all of that is just political show The GCO and the customer service team is not one of the best places to work though. Dysfunctional and crumbling middle management, no innovation and no learning opportunities. Makes it difficult to advance your career since you would be stuck doing the same thing everyday and will get blunt overtime. Do not join GCO department and move out as fast as you can. Managers will ensure you taste hell. They will give you fancy titles every 6- 10 months so you will feel you are growing, then it's easier to retain you with the same pay. They will also modify your job title so that you aren't able to market yourself easily. But these things are common in all companies and you really can't blame them. There were some layoffs and people were fired recently before Microsoft acquisition, so join with caution.

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.
