Pros

LinkedIn cared about the well-being of its employees. We had two weeks of shutdown every year, one around the July 4th holiday and the other between Christmas and New Year. There's an "In Day" every month for employees to participate in activities other than work and to learn new things. The executives were transparent during all-hands and no questions were off limit. I felt that my feedback was valued and acted upon.

Cons

The bar was very high for Sr. Staff Software Engineer position. One would have to be well known across multiple teams and upper management.

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.
