Pros

You have the chance to meet some amazing people! Inspiring colleagues with high emotional intelligence! Top notch perks such as free food, gym, events and a yearly budget focused on health activities (sauna, PT etc). Overall it's all about the people! Majority of them were amazing! You can also meet some ginormous ego, but there's no perfect place to work for! The 4 stars are purely for the people I met during my tenure

Cons

Yet these amazing people don't make it to management. In certain cases they are not interested to move to people management as they're making good money and they don't wanna have the hassle of managing people. This is an actual problem at LinkedIn...promoting internal managers since the company is no longer a startup. The culture applies only to certain business divsions....I came in through an acquisition and sometimes they treated us like animals! We delivered the same revenue as reps from other division but we are paid 40% less than them. The thing that disgusted me the most it's how they empowered and protected management, appointing two managers to make our lives horrible! The HR and especially the HRBP really disappointed me referring every single confidential comment to the managers.

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.
