Pros

1. Culture: LinkedIn has an incredibly healthy culture. The work-life balance is very fair: full time employees have unlimited paid time off, and the company also provides many opportunities to rest and unwind: plenty of paid holidays, monthly "InDays", where employees can participate in organized activities or take the day off, etc. 2. Very collaborative, talented colleagues. The people I have worked with here are kind and eager to help out. My manager is supportive and demonstrates care for my well-being. 3. WFH flexibility: Up until now, LinkedIn has not had any return to office mandates. I personally really appreciate going to the office and seeing coworkers, but it is also incredible to have the flexibility to decide which days I'll work from the office and which days I'll work elsewhere.

Cons

1. Career growth. In my time at LinkedIn so far, it's been tough to find meaningful, impactful projects. Part of this is out of anyone's control: due to the tough economic situation, my team has been working on fewer new features. I've been trying to make the most of this situation by seeking opportunities to learn new skills and broaden my scope, and thankfully, there have been many ways to do that here. Promotions here are challenging to get.

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.
