Pros

It used to have great perks, Microsoft RSUs, and great engineers to work with.

Cons

Tech is outdated on most platforms, makes your skills redundant in the current job market, Culture has changed drastically since the pandemic, and constant reorgs led to a loss of opportunities for everyone. Still, senior leadership has no accountability for the constant shutting down of good business ideas and products. ICs are sacrificed in the process. The product partners usually come up with unoriginal ideas that mostly don't work out, and they leave the company to avoid the aftermath. Platform teams are good, smart people, and cool tech to build, except for some toxic management.

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.
