Pros

Flexible work hours; great work-life balance; competitive salary; business does quite well; values keep the company honest to customers and protects member privacy/company reputation

Cons

Lack of clear career progression; lots of politics involved in promotion decisions, which are often not based on merit but based on who you know; overall my anxiety level greatly increased (and mental health has decreased!) since working at this company due to lack of role clarity and team direction; management provides only positive feedback ("areas of opportunity") which are often unclear, easily misunderstood, and employees are not made aware of what behaviors to avoid that negatively impact their career; projects are often incentivized to look good for management as opposed to actually bringing value to the business; it is possible for diversity hires to bring down the overall quality and morale of a team when minimum quality standards are not upheld.

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.
