Pros

LinkedIn has great benefits and perks, and unlimited paid time off, and good supports for families. I paid off my student loans with their student loan reimbursement benefit. I had a great experience as a contractor at first, because I had a really supportive and thoughtful leader.

Cons

LinkedIn likes to show that they are the "thought leader" for employers, but they don't practice what they preach. When I was brought on as an FTE, I was assigned to a leader that used blame and back-stabbing as her leadership MO, and it was really toxic and made my mental health go into the gutter. I was fired for "performance reasons" (which, I later learned that leaders were told to push out "low-performers" to avoid any publicity of layoffs) at the exact same time that I was pushing for ADA accommodations for my mental health. Like, so many levels of crappy management behavior. And these leaders were held up as exemplary leaders in the department, which was so disappointing to see.

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.
