Pluspunten

Good perks and vacations with week long shutdowns twice a year. Good food and we'll perceived brand name. Also stocks are appreciating, thanks to Microsoft cloud.

Minpunten

Technology stack sucks and the network effect of selling yourself to get promotion has led to engineers not focusing on companies success but individual promotion. Very few teams actually do real good work . Titles are super inflated. Also the quality of talent has dropped drastically thanks to leetcode questions which are not updated for ages. If you think just working hard will make you succeed at LinkedIn then you are wrong . Only way to grow is to join a new team and send emails exaggerating the work you do. I dont see this company achieving much unless drastic steps are taken to change the environment. If you are joining LinkedIn make sure to not spend time in execution and just focus on leadership and writing minor review comments.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
