Pros

Going from consulting to LinkedIn was a welcome shock to the system. Overwhelmingly positive vibes from all my team members and everybody I've had the pleasure of working with. Very collaborative environment and plenty of resources for those times you get stuck on something. I've learned as much in 1 year as I did in say 5+ years in my last job. Really can't say enough good things about the environment here. Maybe some would "toxic positivity" but it still seems genuine to me. Benefits are pretty standard when compared to other big tech companies. That said, they're outstanding compared to anything else. It's really hard to beat 50% 401k matching up to fed max and almost free, quality health care. I wish I had this kind of maternity/paternity leave earlier in my career. I think it's upwards of 6 months, paid. Random perks like free gym membership, swag, etc. are all great too. Pay and stock options were plenty competitive in my case, although I have heard some say that it's a little average or below compared to Google...but like c'mon that's like saying I won't take a Ferrari because it's not a McLaren. It's still a freaking Ferarri.

Cons

Ummm...if you're only after $$$ then you might do better somewhere else, but the compensation is competitive and if you've never worked in big tech it's quite good. Given the current "macro economic" cycle there's been some push to "do more with less" and some stress about layoffs (LI did a few rounds earlier this year). That said, 5% is a far cry from the upwards of 30% that I've dealt with in the past so YMMV.

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.
