Pros

* Very Instagram-mable company experience (beautiful offices and extensive PR) * Great perks (from free food and free gym to equity plan) * Flexibility (remote work etc.) * Travel opportunities * If you work in Sales (only): Great trainings. rewards & recognition

Cons

* Doctor-backed disability seen as "gross misconduct" leading to summary dismissal. * Raising concerns to management causes encouragement to resign, threat to be fired, and sudden consideration of a Performance Improvement Plan. * Bad managers blindly supported by HR (via collective HR bullying). * Lawbreaking: Falsification of documents; False statements etc. * Unprofessional/toxic HR/managers: Absent objective setting; Late probation period confirmation (6 months delay); Late bonus payment (1 year delay); 6 months wait for HR to start investigation of complaint (backed by evidence); HR request for reimbursement of salaries from employee on sick leave. * Outside US: Severe under-staffing (3-4 x) known to management. Hence high stress, alarming turnover (100% team reshuffling in a year), bad work-life balance and burnout. Backfill delays. No proper transitions. * Below-market salaries * Meeting culture (yet ghosting). Much bureaucracy (yet lack of structure and poor knowledge management). * Favouritism: Rewards (promotion, training, opportunities) not based on performance but rather on gender and personal preferences. * Sales teams plagued with big egos. Non-Sales people treated as under-class. * For non Sales teams: Very limited access to training (even when trainings are mandatory). Self-learning. No time for "InDays".

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.
