Pros

By far LinkedIn has exceeded my expectations in every way. I was hired through an acquisition, and they made every effort to make us feel comfortable, and allowed us to continue working on our products. The culture is great, very empowering, a lot of perks, a focus on true leadership from managers. Every LinkedIn employee is smart, collaborative, and easy going. I love coming to work every day knowing my colleagues are bringing their A-game with no drama. The leadership is awesome, and they take their cultural values seriously- they aren't just motivational posters on the wall. Also Jeff. I'm just an IC, but Jeff is the kind of leader everyone wants to follow. The vision he sets for the company is big enough, and the empowerment cascades from above. He delivers his communications with transparency and authenticity. Even at the IC level, I can see how my work relates to our mission.

Cons

Typical big company problems, knowing who to talk to, being proactive on finding the right stakeholders for various product lines can be difficult. There is a lot of movement between the three campuses to collaborate, so it can be weird on your schedule.

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.
