Pros

Competitive comp (with Microsoft stock). Decent WLB and some teams still allow hybrid work. There are many genuinely nice and smart people.

Cons

Simply stated, LinkedIn is not what it used to be. It is currently in a period of silent layoffs, so it's challenging to push work forward as partners or even entire teams suddenly disappear, sometimes without even a comment from leadership. It's extremely important to be socially popular among your peers and leaders; success means toxic positivity and tiptoeing around big egos. As a result, problems are usually the fault of whoever is not in the room, and it's not uncommon to hear even senior leaders blame customers for poor performance (e.g. "they churned because they have unreasonable expectations", "they are too inexperienced to adopt our product," etc). It's difficult and even risky to start an open conversation about weak performance or business failures, even when you have the data on your side. This is especially true regarding issues in the product, which is largely stagnant and becoming more unstable as leaders chase a company mandate to pour AI on everything and hope something works out.

Pros

Very nice energy and actually care for interns

Cons

Not really much cons. Maybe infra is not good as other big tech but after all this is not a ai/ml company

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.
