Pros

- Still some good people left (but they are also on their way out) - Good Office perks (lunch, gym) - Immediate peers are respectful and pleasant to work with (but can't say that about my reporting chain)

Cons

- Weak Senior leadership. Current CEO (Ryan R) and his team do not have a strong understanding of market. - Heavy focus on revenue without any care of whats a good customer experience - Feels like Forced layoffs in the form of PIP quotas. no proper Annual comp increase is forcing good people to leave - There has been months of indecisiveness in the form of whether they will layoff, flatten managers. It is causing a lot of angst and stress amongst employees. - The CEO & His team have not addressed any of the tough questions in Company All Hands, scripted answers and heavy lack of transparency. - Amongst management (Dirtector+) there is no regard for good managers - It has become extremely political where Sr. Leadership favors middle managers that has worked with them before. A lot of discrimination during this year calibrations across the company. - Has become a sweatshop without the perks of good compensation

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.
