Pros

Exposure to all sorts of new technologies. Great lecture series. People are generally friendly. For a company that size it seems to have retained a fair bit of startup mentality. Company devotes 1 day a month to hack on anything you want and awards prizes. Free food.

Cons

Lots of politics which is not unusual per se; no more than I've seen in other places that I've worked at. Not a lot of visibility into what other groups are doing at any meaningful detail; weekly operations reports does not cut it. Early employees typically get the choicest projects but it seems that management understands this problem and this seems to be changing.

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.
