Pros

Food is great, work life balance can be good depending on your role and boss.

Cons

- "culture" one of the words you'll hear most while working at LinkedIn is collaboration. However, sales targets are very high and individual so, naturally, does not foster collaboration but they will force you to collaborate by taking on projects that move you away from your core role. - Too many social events and not very parent friendly as they all occur after work. - Too many internal initiatives that take time off your day to day and quite useless in terms of the outcome but you have to take part if you want to get promoted. - LMS line of business is FULL of politics and only Irish people get promoted to management. - Many mediocre middle managers with a very infantile management style. - You need to suck up to all managers in the floor otherwise one or 2 may mess up your performance review (they call it callibration) even when you overachieve in results. - If you want to focus mostly or solely on your job, this may not be the place for you.

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.
