Pros

1. Great WLB - if you're a parent/caretaker and need boundaries, someone who is burnt out, or someone who likes doing the bare minimum, this is the company for you 2. Truly the BEST benefits out there - best food in the Bay Area, best 401K match, amazing perks and discounts, etc. 3. People are really nice and friendly. Genuinely all people you'd enjoy grabbing coffee with

Cons

1. Low pay - if you're looking for the highest offer, this won't be it. And once you're here, it is IMPOSSIBLE to get decent raises 2. There are two types of employees: really amazing star employees that work their butts off and the deadweight. It's about 50/50. The dead weight are not smart or motivated, and drag us all down 3. "Rest and vest" is the motto, which is great for some and not for others. Working here can be a bit boring, and you may not grow as much as you would in other companies. Your career can plateau if you spend too long here. 4. Leadership. Yikes. Ask anyone who has been here since pre-2020 when Jeff was CEO and watch them heavy sigh or grimace

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.
