Pros

LinkedIn is one of the best companies you can work for. Depending on what team you are on, will determine how much you enjoy working at LinkedIn. I'm a software engineer for one of the internal teams at LinkedIn and it's not exciting work. It's actually boring work. I talked to other engineers, they feel the same way and can't wait to get out. The designers on internal apps don't like it too. When you join a team. It would be wise to ask questions about that team. Don't get stuck on boring work. It will make your experience at LinkedIn a bad one.

Cons

Commute from SF to SV is bad

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.
