Pros

Linkedin is a great place to work and start a career. There's a lot of opportunities for training and personal development, plus the perks are great. Also, you'll be surrounded by great peers from all over the world who will help you grow as a person.

Cons

Terrible low and middle management. There are a lot of people who were there early and now have become manager who do not have a clue of how to manage. They just ask for forecasts and look up for their own interests. This causes a situation of bad mentorship and a lack of career paths. Also, there's a lot of over promising about things that will never happen. There are also a lot of internal politics and you have to be careful who you befriend if you want to really progress. I saw a lot of people getting promoted not on their merits but on who they were friends with.

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.
