Pros

- Values professional development and works to train employees so they can grow to their potential - Great benefits (food, medical/dental, vacation) for a work-life balance - Smart people - Great training for management track

Cons

- Slow to execute on ideas or projects because getting things done require more consensus or buy-in from management - If there are low performers, they can talk their way out of a meeting or out of doing work. They are slow to let go, which is good but also not great for productivity or driving excellence. There aren't many "low performers" but there are always bad eggs.

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.
