Pros

LinkedIn has great benefits including free meals, snacks/drinks, commuter shuttles and unlimited vacation. There are opportunities for growth and the environment is very dynamic, so there a no shortages of interesting challenges. Most of my interactions with other team members were very positive.

Cons

After being acquired by Microsoft, most all communication and some productivity tools were replaced with Microsoft-based solutions that are less useful and less reliable than previous tools. Issues/concerns taken to management aren't taken seriously unless the resignation card is played. Team management kept too busy with other responsibilities for a reliable 1:1 meeting schedule. Promotion process is too similar to a popularity contest. Team/management structure setup in an odd way that lead to stress and confusion.

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.
