Pros

Quite possibly the least competitive place that I have ever worked. You don't really need to work hard if you know how to get in the right side if the politics. The company prints money in the ad side of the house; with very little investment is LinkedIn pays well.

Cons

Quite possibly the least competitive place that I have ever worked, and that shows from the day that you enter the door. There is a bizarre lack of basic skills in sells. This extends into sells management in sales. Executive staff seems to be well aware of this and are trying to implement a change management process, but these are being derailed by the recent Google arrivals who’ve made alliance with the old stagnated LinkedIn guard. The results is accelerating revenue DEGROWTH. This is also the worst possible time because of the scrutiny social media companies are facing after Elon outed many of them for having fake engagement. Customers are losing faith in the product and it shows. There also appears to be the remnants of a culture war present. All in all I would definitely avoid this place unless you are in desperate need of a job. Take the job understanding that you will be targeted or better yet your role has been targeted since before you ever got there. When the stress gets bad just take leave like everyone else, because it will.

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.
