Pros

massive infrastructure -- a real-world playground for large-scale distributed systems to sharpen your technical fundamentals mature process -- broad learning and understanding how the entire distributed architecture and ecosystem stability & benefits --strong compensation, resources, and predictable structure, people cares about your personal growth work life balance -- not as good as before but still above average food -- Linkedin food is the best, period.

Cons

Bureaucracy & slowness -- Shipping anything substantial could feel glacial. Limited product ownership -- experimentation wasn’t rewarded the same way as stability. Frequent Re-org -- I worked in 2 teams, however, 3 tracks and 8 managers in total.

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.
