Pros

Good set of coworkers to work with. Smart people who are passionate about their job. Innovative things to work on. Interesting projects. Great perks - good food, on campus gym.

Cons

Over the last couple of months too many tiers have popped up in management. There isn't cohesion between management. Your ability for growth depends on how influential or powerful your manager is in the chain of command rather than your good work. Dysfunctional relationship between product and engineering. Different teams work at different pace and value different things - some teams value horizontal contribution efforts, others value product releases - your career growth can get stuck if you are in a team that values one thing while your management values another. Good work doesn't get recognized unless you toot your own horn and people who are really good at marketing themselves get promoted. No monetary increments annually unless you get promoted. With the current increase in living costs this is going to lead to higher attrition rate.

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.
