Pros

Colleagues are fantastic: top talent, helpful, eager to learn. Leadership continuously steers LI in direction of platform that grows the business and reaches the most people--good longevity. Impact driven culture Opportunities to learn and grow Lots of holidays and DTO Benefits and pay are competitive

Cons

Project management is not standardized, especially for data science. Highly driven by business and product stakeholders which means projects may not be conducive to career growth. Also can be less data driven than if projects are driven by DS. Culture of overachievers means work/life balance is a constant challenge.

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.
