Pros

-The Vision: This is a company that does more than just generate revenue, we are working towards the bigger picture here. -The People: Silicon Valley is filled with smart, fun, nerdy, innovative people. LinkedIn is filled with that and more. The people at the company truly believe in the impact our company has on the world. It's a beautiful commonality. -The Product: LinkedIn as a product is best in class. I am so proud to work for a company that boasts such a stellar product. -The Cafe: I don't work in headquarters, but when I do have the fortune of working in MTV - i am BLOWN away by the quality of our cafe. It is GOURMET and the team is lovely. -Commitment to transformation: The leaders of our company are committed to providing you as an individual employee a transformational experience.

Cons

We are growing so fast that sometimes things seem a bit unorganized and overwhelming. The company is trying to combat this by making "Act Like An Owner" a core value. If all employees act like owners, the company is that much better off.

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.
