Pros

- Great people! Everyone is so kind and helpful and you will never feel like the smartest person in the room. Someone will always be better than you but you can always learn from them. - Free food and generally decent company culture and beenfits. - Meaningful career development and decent product. - Good learning opportunities.

Cons

- Starting to lose sight of what made LinkedIn great and blindly chase profits. - Deteriorating culture, much more pressure from leadership level so we are doing things faster but things are getting built in worse quality. Adopting "Fast and scrappy" mentality... which really hurts the overall system structures and engineering excellence. - Leadership overly focused on chasing A.I. instead of developing impactful products that boost the value of Premium subscriptions.

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.
