-Smart co-workers -Fast paced environment -Frequent opportunity to beta test new products -Free catered lunches, drinks, snacks, Froyo

Cons

-Hostile environment: Bullying and workplace violence. I've personally experienced this as well as others across my organization. -Middle management is unable to manage expectations from executive leadership team resulting in burn out and demoralization of those doing the work on the ground. -Many of the inspiring leaders that built up Linkedin to what it is today have left or will be leaving Linkedin soon. -Very political and hierarchical

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.
