Pros

Most of the time people are friendly, outgoing and fun to be around. The food is ok, pay could be better, but Time off is excellent. We try hard to make a good product. Work / Home balance can get very out of balance if you are on a deadline.

Cons

Too many people that are not accountable for their action. Blaming others for slowness or failures. Biggest issue, age discrimination. It appears, at least from where I sit, there is no one over 40 in the room. That is discouraging as people that are over that age and older have a wealth of stories and experience that could really help the company. Most likely in all areas, but especially sales. LinkedIn has some great products, but a lot of immature sales people that do not have a lot of street experience. It shows. The other thing is communication. A friend of mine applied at LinkedIn. It took three week for a phone interview after LinkedIn approached her. Now it has been over two months. The position is still open and no communication. She has tried repeatedly to contact the recruiter and he never replies.

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.
