Pros

*The benefits and perks are amazing - there is so much focus, thoughtfulness and investment put into the employee experience. *People are really smart and nice, you don't run into a lot of jerks. *Teams are generally happy and love the company culture *Employees are passionate about the company brand, its mission, and doing the right thing for its members. *The campus, cafe, and workplace support is the best - truly world class. *Though they're owned by Microsoft, they do run independently from them.

Cons

*The company size is growing, which means that it's harder to get alignment on things. It does feel like organizations/leaders are getting more "political" *Given the amazing perks, some people stay at the company longer than they should - and for the wrong reasons. * They're almost too nice , which means people aren't always held accountable and exceptions are always being made. *It's been harder to find growth opportunities past a certain level. In some ways, it's easier to leave the company than to stay and get promoted/find an internal move.

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.
