Pros

Work/life balance, nice office, good perks in line with other US tech companies

Cons

Does not pay as well as other tech companies in Dublin and use "culture" as a way to justify salaries. Systems are sub-par and make managing sales teams next to impossible. Pay reviews are now one annual (with one "lite" mid year review) in line with Microsoft FY, however managers are given a small "budget" to allocate to their team, with no additional budget for promotions, which means that anyone getting promoted will get circa 3-5% increase, and most others very little as there is simply not enough to go around, which means LinkedIn are falling further and further behind on pay

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.
