Pros

Great culture and benefits for employees. If you want to have a good time and be happy, join LinkedIn! You won't find a boring work day; full of company-held events, it's a great way to meet colleagues from all across teams! Make sure you leverage these events to the fullest so you can maximise your network opportunity as much as possible.

Cons

The salary is very disappointing compared to the rest of the market. HR will tell you that they are "competitive" and the commission plans are "very attractive" and that "you won't find a better one in other companies". But that's actually not the case. Ensure you weigh in what matters to you; factor in all the great benefits (listed above) and see what matters more to you. Do you prioritise career progression & salary? Or do you prioritise happiness & comfort?

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.
