Pros

- Comp (not top of market, but still competitive) - Pockets of really great culture, but this is largely dependent on leadership in each region/segment - Benefits are second to none - Free breakfast/lunch in office - Great office spaces

Cons

- Some regional/segment leaders better than others; Some regions lack clear vision & communication is reactive - Very competitive promotion cycles that are not always based on objective criteria (politics can be pretty intense) - RTO announcement (~2 days per week for Sales) came abruptly in Fall 2023 and the org has not yet figure out their approach to internal promotion for those who were previously approved to work from another location. In current state, there are times when internal remote employees are blocked from interviewing for promotion due to “strong preference for local talent”, which signals that there may be no internal career path available to remote employees. Hoping this is just a “season”, and soon there will be more thoughtfulness around internal mobility.

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.
