Pros

- Great perks and benefits - wellness program is fantastic - Investment Day - Catered breakfast / lunch - Work with some truly smart people - Good work is rewarded - Prime office location

Cons

- Mediocre and immature middle management, full of unconscious bias, little empathy, uninspiring - No room to progress, flat structure - Not high on diversity, inclusion and belonging conditional - you must fit in. People who do fit in are rewarded, those who don't are sidelined. Too much pressure to be 'authentic' - comes across as the opposite. - Shiny on the surface, bad politics beneath the surface - Too many distractions - Very hierarchal

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.
