Pros

- Offers really good balance between work and life. - Offers really good benefits package - Smart and friendly people to work with (good culture) - Challenging problems if you are motivated to discover and work on them

Cons

- Depending on the team, you could be positioned for more professional growth than others. - Work can often be reactionary vs proactive depending on the team. - You can do little to no development or mostly development; again depending on the team you are on. It's a pro or con based on what you would prefer. - Growth potential is based on org/company impact . This is unfairly tied directly to a manager's ability to plan and defend funding of IC resources to work on impact creating opportunities.

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.
