Pros

Well known brand, company benefits, the product itself.

Cons

A very young workforce. A lot of 20 something year olds who are in their 1st job and completely lost in wonderland. all fun all day, sometimes childish. They take everything for granted and will have a wake up call when they work for a non internet company. The culture is a bit creepy as you can read in many reviews, but its true. They keep expressing they are a start-up, but they have been around for 13 years! and they use too many buzzwords. hyper growth, leverage, leadership. Not surprised the company is not making any money. They have their employees focus on side projects which have nothing to do with work, but show ' leadership'. They take out an entire day per month for that. If you are a client, dont expect anything done until next week. Furthermore the only good place is talent solutions, this is the only product that works and where the money is made for the company and for the sales reps.. the other divisions have often people with limited knowledge combined with arrogance, especially outside of the Dublin office (e.g. London, Amsterdam, Paris). Last but not least, their processes and internal systems are extremely slow and can be a real showstopper for clients and will give sales teams headaches.

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.
