Pros

Jeff Weiner is arguably one of the best CEOs in Silicon Valley and LinkedIn is very luck to have him. When I joined the company, it truly felt like a happy family and we were firing on all cylinders -- explosive growth, great products being launched, and stock price doing well. The perks were (and probably still are) amazing and I miss the awesome food and chair massages.

Cons

Unfortunately as we grew, the company started became riddled with politics. Countless number of folks "resting and vesting" and a very inept middle management layer that drove many great employees out of the company.

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.
