Pros

Pays well above salaries at many other places in the valley. Great benefits. Nice people to work with. Somewhat open culture.

Cons

Competition within the company can foster innovation, but it has been taken overboard. There are tens of overlapping projects, few of which are maintained, all of which were originally designed to replace all the others, and yet none of which can be removed or replaced. The IT team largely lacks effective leadership, and has a three-month horizon (anything that will take longer than three months is automatically squashed as being impractical, will never get done, etc.). There is no overall view of goals, or where things are ultimately headed, other than "break things, get stuff done, and have fun."

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.
