Pros

Prestigious company and leaders in their field. It's hard to get your foot in the door but well worth it, even for a short period, because you'll learn a lot and it looks great on your CV. Excellent pay. Global opportunities to work out of offices abroad, even temporarily if your job allows. All meals, drinks and snacks are free. Great social activities. High calibre staff. If you have a great manager then you'll possibly be there a very long time.

Cons

Workload expectation were excessively heavy. Consensus was, you were expected to work beyond your contracted hours. leaving on time at the end of the day was frowned upon, even when you'd managed your workload. Repeatedly extending work hours beyond your contract actually dilutes your equivalent hourly pay significantly. Living to work instead of working to live is not for everyone. I've seen hardcore workaholics throw in the towel there for that very reason.

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.
