Pros

The company is a true "people company". Of course it is a sales driven company as many internet companies have to be now to be competitive, but either employees (most of them) and senior managers walk the talk when it comes to culture and values. The culture here is indeed the reason why I keep working for this company: it's a culture that appreciates feedbacks and listen to them, making changes either in the products and in the processes; it's a culture where "transformation" is not just a word but something that is promoted internally. There's no fear to talk about career opportunities either inside or outside the company and no managers will stop you in a role or in a team because you're performing well where you currently are now. Also, it's a very horizontal company: there are many chances for employees to meet MDs, VPs and Directors, and they are eager to have conversations with them because (I think) they know they often are "the voice of the client". A part from the culture, other reasons why I enjoy coming to work every day are the company reputation (it's always nice to work in a company clients love!), the products that I genuinely find innovative, the benefit and the perks (free canteen with great catering choice, free snacks, tea, coffee, etc., chair massage, gym with free classes, medical and dental insurance) the fast paced environment (things change very fast, it's true, but I never get bored and I feel changes are possible) and the hyper growth that can bring to career opportunities worldwide, and eventually the fact that, even if it's a big company, we still know each other and the environment is still kind of a start up (especially in the Sales offices around the world, where there are a few employees and lots of ideas!). In one example, once a year we still get together from all over the world for the Global Sales Kickoff, and this is a great occasion for us to network with each other, hear US management talking about how they see the company going, feel part of a global company.

Cons

Even though a fast paced environment can be exciting, it is tiring as well.. At the end of a Quarter, you can feel "empty" for how much you are tired! Most of the employees work a lot and this can affect their personal work life balance: even if the company keeps on repeating us to take care of it, I find sometimes practically difficult doing it. In addition, in LinkedIn things keep on changing (i.e. processes, rules, points of contact) and it's hard sometimes to meet your goals and numbers you committed for in the first place. Another con is that sometimes we have the feeling that the company is sometimes too US-centric and that target could be adapted to the different markets and related maturity.

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.
