Not all that they claim. . .

Pros

LinkedIn has great benefits and perks, and unlimited paid time off, and good supports for families. I paid off my student loans with their student loan reimbursement benefit. I had a great experience as a contractor at first, because I had a really supportive and thoughtful leader.

Cons

LinkedIn likes to show that they are the "thought leader" for employers, but they don't practice what they preach. When I was brought on as an FTE, I was assigned to a leader that used blame and back-stabbing as her leadership MO, and it was really toxic and made my mental health go into the gutter. I was fired for "performance reasons" (which, I later learned that leaders were told to push out "low-performers" to avoid any publicity of layoffs) at the exact same time that I was pushing for ADA accommodations for my mental health. Like, so many levels of crappy management behavior. And these leaders were held up as exemplary leaders in the department, which was so disappointing to see.

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.

Amazing Company

Pros

My first two years at LinkedIn were by far the most amazing work experience I have ever had. I supported six people and six teams, and I loved it. I started during the height of the pandemic, so I can't say if I would have felt differently if I had started work onsite. There is a reason people want to work at LinkedIn.

Cons

Toxic and racist management during my second half, well my last four months, a company that I loved turned into the most horrible experience. LinkedIn has set up policies on conduct and behaviour that, unfortunately, management doesn't always follow; they have a reputation for humiliating, harassing and bullying their employees to the point that they want to leave, and that is unfortunate since it is a great company
