Pros

Hybrid work is still flexible

Cons

Culture has taken a major downturn, with the departure of Jeff Weiner, the former CEO, it was just a matter of time. Company communications immediately started to become increasingly corporate and full of fluff instead of inspirational and informational. Now the culture is based off of flimsy metrics that change constantly because no one knows what to measure, leading to tremendous amount of decisions by leadership that leaves everyone scratching their heads. No longer a top tier place, teams used to have a start up vibe years ago, now it's just another corporate husk full of busy work, way too much process that adds no value, and full of people hogging work and not delivering on it thinking it will save them from the layoff machine. Just try to think of the last time LinkedIn actually released something noteworthy to the public and that should give you a clue.

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.
