Pros

Great product with minimal competition Competitive pay Robust employee benefits Owned by Microsoft

Cons

Zero transparency on promotions Lots of politics and a** kissing Superficial commitment to diversity and engagement Mediocre senior leadership - lack of operational knowledge and blind trust on the operations teams Atrocious front line managers that add no value except for being middle men for senior leaders - how did they get hired/promoted? Everyone is out for themselves - no team spirit Undergoing transformation and left tons of gaps for employees at the bottom to address themselves

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.
