Pros

LinkedIn has a strong reputation, and working there can be a resume booster. There are opportunities to learn, but mostly through hands-on experience rather than structured development. Some teams have great people, but the experience varies depending on your role and employment status.

Cons

Career growth can feel limited/is, especially for non-engineering roles. The company fosters a strong culture, but contractors may experience fewer benefits and job security. Work expectations are high, but guidance can be lacking, and organizational changes can create uncertainty. - Career progression can feel unclear or slow, especially for contractors and non-engineering roles. - Contractors have fewer benefits, less job security, and limited access to internal resources compared to full-time employees. - Processes can be overly bureaucratic, making it difficult to drive change or improve workflows. - High expectations but little clarity on how to succeed beyond hitting metrics. - Workload can be demanding, and restructuring can create instability. - Compensation may not always reflect workload, particularly in customer-facing roles.

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.
