Pros

Free (and generally great) food. Smart colleagues. Lots of mandatory fun events like a company wide chili cook off and team offsites.

Kontras

There is a lot of implicit bias at LinkedIn. The gender ratio is pretty balanced at low levels, but the opportunities for growth are still limited to a boys club. One effect of this is that I have never seen anyone in the product management or product marketing orgs have a good return from maternity leave. When these women come back, they are put into less visible and less interesting roles...or in one recent case, pushed out of the company within a year of coming back. These are capable women who are seen as non capable by the senior leaders the minute they announce their pregnancies. As a true example, when I announced my pregnancy to my vp he replied "congratulations... I think." There is a lot of lip service around the length of leave and benefits to new parents, but the biggest benefit is to go back to a job that you care about and...I haven't seen that happen.

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.

Kontras

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.
