Pros

Posh Cafeteria and good food a lot of social events great value in the resume good pay (in the range of 60 to 70% of FANG compensation)

Cons

low caliber managers in all levels. (Except the very top level) Managers have more authority and power that is being misused. Engineers are forced to pay attention to pleasing managers instead of focusing on technology and new products. HR is always one sided with managers. Performance reviews are not questionable and are not really based on one's performance. you need to be in the close circle of management in order to get recognized.

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.
