Pros

Great benefits. On my team, it's very easy to take time off and work-life balance is very realistic.

Cons

Constantly changing priorities.

Upper management is incompetent, rest & vest. Middle management is powerless to manage up.

Culture is not at the center of work life anymore. Constant fear of layoffs, with many rounds last year.

No raise last year, and many more people being placed on PIP than ever.

Teams are struggling to keep the lights on.

It's not prestigious LinkedIn anymore – just another corporate "shut up and do what we say" workplace.

A very hard place to work for someone who worked there during the "glory days" only a few years ago.

Advice to Management

Let's just be direct with employees and stop pretending LinkedIn has the same culture.
