Pros

Pay is good There used to be cool things like half fridays Indays Microsoft discounts Benefits

Cons

The work culture at the moment is very toxic never felt ill will towards my direct team but it's essentially your manager and peers vs the upper rungs of leadership. You get to wait for last minute decisions and opaque messaging from leadership together. They spew things about growth and learning but could care less just focus on your cpps and reviews ignore anything that does not support that. Double speak is like air or water at LinkedIn especially from the CEO and C-Suite WLB went down the drain I went from working like 40+ hours a week I'd do some overtime occassionally before ramps and for oncalls at times but it was decent. Near the end it was not uncommon for me to wake up logon remotely as soon as I woke up until like 9 or 10 and night rinse and repeat. They will announce initiatives for new tech and the like every blue moon but very rarely allocate time for teams to execute any of it. Do not be suprised if a project you are working on is cancelled and reorged.

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.
