Pros

Great cafeteria, commute support, lots of perks, good 401k matching, Msft stock doing great

Cons

LinkedIn culture is slowly dying and replaced with Msft culture. In my pass 2 teams no one worked from home, some engineers are working on their days off and DTO. Promotion is rigid and hard. You won’t get promoted just because you are ‘exceed expectations’ 3 years straight. However, if your manager likes you you can get promoted even if you’ve been in the team for less than a year. People starts to not respond to you, doesn’t answer your email, slack, no matter what you do. If you try to do a project with an external team, then they do their very best to not co-operate. I’ve been here a long time and things have truly gone down the drain. Technologies used are super old and irrelevant.

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.
