Pros

Great benefits, free food, flexible hours, decent load, great perks, good salary. For developers, working here would be a dream job, as long as they don't mind being responsible for the testing as well (See below).

Cons

Testing is done by developers, which means as a QA your main job is to come up with scenarios and hand those to them. As a result, the priority is to hire more developers and (to put it nicely) employ less QAs. While this makes developers be more disciplined in designing with testing in mind, it also means less chances for QAs to learn and do new things.

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.
