Pros

* excellent pay * outstanding world classed benefits * really exceedingly good food * plays hard * if you are in the right orgs, its easy to work 30-40 hours a week and go home to your family

Cons

* mediocre talent that thinks it is world class. the truth is they have a monopoly business that was built years ago and they can't innovate on product or enter new markets. * the teams are bloated and fat to the point of ridiculousness given their level of output. * execs are silo'd and not aligned. this causes a huge amount of wasted effort at the middle and lower levels. * incredibly political but pretends that they have a winning transparent culture. This comes from the top. spin matters more than results which the company can't measure.

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.
