Pros

- Explosive growth means you can have full ownership over your work and career. You can own as much as you ask for - Extremely collegial atmosphere where everyone shares common goals and works together regardless of title or function - Opportunities to work on projects outside of your business unit/function - "Hack Day" judged by senior leadership and is a great way to have your ideas heard and work with people outside of your business unit - Completely open and honest leadership. VERY few surprises. - Very energetic and friendly employees at all levels. - Ridiculous perks (free catered gourmet lunch, kitchen on every floor is like a free 7-11, free Caltrain passes, free SF shuttle, onsite dry cleaning, haircuts, car detailing, minor car maintenance, massages, redbull fridges all over!) - Extremely competitive benefits package

Cons

- Explosive growth means office is short on space. Plans are in place to fix this but campus might be split up until a permanent home is found :( - Massive hiring leads to a somewhat rushed onboarding experience. Few "official" social events to acclimate new hires but that changes once you get to know people in the office

Pros

Very nice energy and actually care for interns

Cons

Not really much cons. Maybe infra is not good as other big tech but after all this is not a ai/ml company

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.
