Pros

Great product, smart people, relaxed work environment, nice office space, free food & drinks. Some outstanding leaders. Some of the most intelligent, dedicated engineers that you'll ever find. Friendly, collegial atmosphere. The company is growing toward a compelling vision and will have a successful exit.

Cons

Highly political environment. Some of the most intelligent and committed employees have been shown the door because they didn't play the game right. Executive & managerial teams have some true stars, but also some total duds. A lot of the folks who have been there for a long time have grown cynical and are to be found whispering among themselves outside the building, "vesting in peace". The engineering team are rock stars, but are floundering amid a lack of process, cohesive vision, sensible product management cycles, and tools to make their work efficient.

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.
