Pros

I joined LinkedIn 3 years ago in 2020, excited for the amazing culutre I had heard about and felt I found it. Flexible work, Good employee benefits, plenty social events, good work/life balance, a focus on mental health and recognition.

Cons

In the last year at LinkedIn, it has changed from my favoriute place to work throughout entire whole career to my worst. (For anyone looking for reviews, I would look at 2022 onwards). Management has changed to more of a numbers focused team, and basically you are doing well and are in the good books or if you're slipping they want you out of the business. In the last 6 months, 4 of my colleages (about 20% of our department) have been put on performance plans that I know about and everyone has a constant fear that they are next. As a result, most people are stressed and working longer days. Our Employee Experience survey numbers have dropped from about 85/100 to 40/100 as people are overworked, burned out, with little career prospects and fear of job security.

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.
