Pros

Company morale building events like InDays, parties and t-shirts for everything, free meals, fitness programs, on-site chair massages and car-detailing.

Cons

Disconnect between preached values and actual practice of those values. "Promoted by your peers" = promotion based on how much the management likes your personality, not based on merit or experience. Getting too big - turning into nameless existence; walking across the floor and not recognizing half the faces isn't the company culture I had when I started here. In experienced middle management.

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.
