Pros

Couldn't have asked for a better experience! Amazing food, free gym / fitness classes, monthly InDays to do anything you want, inspiring CEO, lots of support available to interns, fun intern events (Disneyland trip, paintballing, speaker series, etc.), amazing culture, good pay, sooo many perks, the list goes on and on... They house the interns in the same apartment complex so it was really easy to meet other people, hang out after work, etc. This summer made me feel so spoiled; it felt like summer camp! I was worried that all of the other interns would be the stereotypical "CS nerd" type but that was certainly not the case. You can tell LinkedIn focuses a lot on culture fit and that is apparent in their hiring. I think the intern program is the perfect size. They keep it a little smaller than some other large tech companies which means more of the interns can get return offers. LinkedIn invests a lot into their intern program and it is very apparent.

Cons

Gained weight from all the good food! Looking back I think I would have preferred to work in the SF office instead of the south bay because it's a more exciting area if you're young.

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.
