Pros

LinkedIn offers some amazing opportunities, including one day a month set aside for hacking or working on a project or for a charity. The benefits are some of the best I've had in over 20 years in tech, and the management works hard to maintain a great company culture. Perks include a high-end cafe, a fitness and wellness program, working with motivated and interesting people, and frequent tech and/or inspirational talks.

Cons

Commuting into Mountain View is sometimes a rough start to the day. The location off Shoreline means dealing with heavy traffic heading to the other tech companies in the area (including the thousands heading to Google). While there are a number of commute options from the company, it's not always convenient from every part of the bay area.

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.
