Pros

This used to be an amazing company to work for - great people, great perks (food, gym, etc), great career growth, and an amazing leadership team that 99% of the company had full faith in and support for

Cons

With the recent transition from Jeff to Ryan, things have really taken a turn for the worst. Ryan seems to be all talk and no action. Commit to diversity & inclusion is questionable. The handling of the recent layoffs was preposterous - cryptic emails at midnight, unpersonal zoom calls. Fine if you're going to lay people off - but don't appear to be compassionate or speak about being compassionate and empathetic when you're laying off 1,000 people and claim that it has nothing to do with COVID. Really miss Jeff, this company took a turn for the worst when he left unfortunately, and it seems like things will never be the same. Know that when you work here, you're essentially working for MSFT, even though LinkedIn will go out of its way to say that they're a very different company.

Pros

Compensation was strong and competitive. The people were genuinely good to work with, and on paper the mission is one you can get behind. Solid brand and a smart, capable workforce.

Cons

Leadership often felt political and opaque. Success was difficult to define clearly, and it frequently seemed like the business quietly picked winners and losers rather than rewarding performance on transparent terms.
