Pros

Talented developers. Kick ass exec team who are passionate and sincere. Good food and good dev culture.

Cons

There are some growing pains. * Pains in growing culture: culture is slipping and there is the start of a few too many attempts at minimizing the pain with middle management bureaucracy. * Too many product folks building too many things not necessarily aligned to the company goals: there's more then a few projects being built for the sake of engagement. The bigger picture is not apparent internally and for sure externally to the actual LI users. * A few too many cooks in the kitchen: sometimes there is too much architecting/talking/emailing and not enough action. Too many teams building very similar tools only for themselves.

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.
