Pros

Free food, but dwindling quality.

Cons

Toxic culture, poor management. Projects generally do not yield anything useful and many times get cancelled. What gets done usually does really work but it is just used by managers and directors to give the impression of achievement. Many parts moved to India and layoff of US work force. I think this is mostly a drag on MSFT profits and should eventually be absorbed or disbanded, sooner rather than later. Does not make sense to keep an aging infra in a cloud company that could run the service at much lower cost.

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.
