Forced Culture, Diversity a myth, you 'have to' embrace psychobabble - Account Executive LinkedIn Employee Review

Pros

Good people around you Strong brand recognition Most managers are well intentioned Stuffed to the gills with perks of food, gym, snacks - like the super ship in Wall-E

Cons

24-7-365 Orwellian messaging 'this is the greatest place on earth, diversity, culture, changing the world' - but employees laugh at the this. The overwhelming majority of every employee profile is identical, and diversity points are scored on the basis that different markets are covered. True diversity of age, economic background and most importantly thought are not present. You either fully accept the forced message without question (and in fairness most of it is just benign sloganeering). Quarterly events, annual parties, team nights out are true bacchanalian affairs with copious drug use and end of the world type partying, 10 people per cubicle at the Christmas party.

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.
