Pros

- Competitive pay - Remote work available - Microsoft is exploding right now

Cons

- Depending on the team you're placed in, could make or break you - Wear a lot of hats. Engineers are sometimes stuck doing data analysis for weeks on end, or act as product managers and come up with product features - Lots of self starting if that's what you enjoy, you will be told to find your own work. - Product managers are never responsive and are spread very thin - Upper crust engineers are exceedingly difficult to ask for help, questions, and you will feel the power dynamic. Not pleasant, and not collaborative environment whatsoever.

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.
