Pros

Culture Benefits Flexibility Work Life Balance Diversity Reputation Company goals Resources

Cons

Pay - the pay here is extremely low compared to peers across the board. They try to make up for it benefits like “perk up” and student loans which is nice but not enough. This is my biggest complaint by far. Someone with my experience makes 50K more at other places just on the base salary alone. This is an amazing place to work but for later in your career. This is not the type of place you want to be early on in your career when you could be making more money elsewhere and being more ambitious. The flexibility and autonomy fits someone who’s already made enough money in their life and wants a relaxing fluffy job Although the culture is great, the promotion system is extremely flawed and very political. Simply excelling at your job isn’t good enough here. You have to be doing volunteer activities and constantly doing extra work just to get recognized. It’s a bit of a teachers pet culture.

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.
