LinkedIn

I cannot speak highly enough of LinkedIn, a company from whom I have no doubt we will be hearing so much more in coming years. Standing at the intersection of a changing workplace and a rapidly globalizing workforce (current events notwithstanding), LinkedIn has what it takes to substantially improve the everyday work experience of people everywhere in the world.

The staff know this. They feel the mission, and they are an exceptionally bright crew of motivated, goal-oriented professionals. The company leadership has had some missteps, but the carefully slow motion merge with Microsoft has not yet been fully appreciated for the strength of the organization that will come from the joining of these two global powerhouses. We need not fear LinkedIn being changed by its business in China--but China might need to fear being changed by its business with LinkedIn. Us? Only good can come of LinkedIn bringing its social workforce tech to a country like China.

People at LinkedIn are unusually sociable in the workplace, have a bright and optimistic attitude in all things,and adhere to polite and professional mannerisms in an extra-meticulous way; it is as though the propriety and crispness of professionalism and diligence we imagine was true in the 1950s corporate world, was brought to the present, minus all the retro downsides, and plus the niceties of today's diversity, civility, and social advances.

This is a place anyone can shine. I would gladly work at LinkedIn again. I had a limited-term contract of several months, but I cannot speak highly enough of the organization, its people, or its potential. With Microsoft bringing the tools and LinkedIn bringing the social tech, look out. The workplace of tomorrow looks like something being sketched this minute on a whiteboard in Sunnyvale, California by an Indian programmer, a skateboarding project analyst, a retiree consultant from IBM and a marketing wunderkind just out of some Parisian salon, all of them working together seamlessly and with use of the latest tools and tech.

Such an awesome place; so good to know, a workplace can be that great.

This was going to be my forever home. It was incredible for about a year. Incredible benefits. Super chill leadership. Meetings that were impactful where our feedback was implemented. They hired with personality in mind. Employee disputes were rare. Real hybrid office where you could be remote full time or come in whenever you wanted. Stellar on site amenities like full cafe, gym, recording studio etc. 

Then the typical corporate nonsense creeped in as Microsoft wanted to change from LinkedIn to Microsoft structure and culture. They switched to Microsoft's AWFUL new programs that genuinely hurt our scorecards. Scorecards we did not get adjustments for so we were penalized for things we couldn't control. DEI became a forefront and some AWFUL people were put in leadership. departments were merged. Our workloads and expectations were doubled. Training was absurdly bad and rushed. We had 2 trainers forget they were even training and watched a PGA tournament on the zoom call for well over an hour. They did surprise lay offs without notice and got rid of some of the best employees ive ever seen in customer service. Very intelligent, skilled, bi lingual people that were hardcore loyal to LinkedIn. Laid off some of the original managers from Linkedin's early days. 

Seriously, I have never seen a company downfall so fast. And I worked at other tech companies that had similar things happen. Luckily I saw the writing on the wall and left before the 2nd round of surprise Layoffs and department closures. They even outsourced and had us training AI. Then management acted like Linkedin's "family" environment was still thriving. It was a slap in the face and a completely inhumane way of handling the whole procedure. 

Overall, you can try working there just expect constant changes, poor leadership and dont take the job too seriously. Stack your cash, enjoy the incredible benefits (if they are still there) but be prepared to be let go or get too frustrated to stay. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Got to learn AI tools, and met some nice people.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
My experience at iBusiness Funding was extremely challenging due to the lack of process, onboarding, documentation, and organizational structure, especially within the Product Engineering department. New employees are expected to ramp up quickly with minimal guidance while handling constantly changing priorities and aggressive timelines.

Employees are regularly expected to work 12–14 hour days, including weekends, to keep projects moving. Despite these efforts, feedback and performance expectations can shift abruptly, particularly as projects approach delivery milestones.

In my experience, many operational and process-related challenges were pushed onto individual contributors rather than addressed systematically. Anyone considering joining the organization, especially within Product Engineering, should carefully evaluate whether they are comfortable working in a high-pressure environment with limited support structures and inconsistent communication.


What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
They will make you work under high pressure with unrealistic deadlines and without paying you more than 8 hours you are expected to work 12-14 hours a day and weekend. BEAWARE

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
STRESSFULL, Unappreciated, unsupported, management sucks, they all depend on ChatGPT ONLY, can't even make their professional PPT.

I have been at LinkedIn for just over a year now. My current position is a Dance Fitness Instructor for the Health and Wellness program, that is now managed by Plus One. Since I have been working at LinkedIn, I have received nothing but a welcoming and energetic experience. I am impressed by the Health and Wellness Program's initiative to take care of the health of the company's employees by providing creative dance and fitness classes. This is where I have been able to find my opportunity to connect with the many employees at LinkedIn. I have found it efficient to communicate with management, receiving prompt responses to any questions or concerns. The communication is well organized, keeping all instructors knowledgable of the program's progress. 

One of my most enjoyable experiences was when I initiated a choreographed dance fitness video for the Health and Wellness Department. Through diligent communication I was able to get employees to participate in the video to represent our team. The Health and Wellness team fully supported our video. It is through these opportunities that I find LinkedIn's culture to be forward-driven and supportive of the employee's well-being.

Truly the most horrible place to work. Management is nonexistent. Was taken off the schedule by the owner for a month abruptly after working there for almost two months because I did not have a food handlers card. If the company was so stern about taking a food handlers course then, they probably just have made sure I had one before they hired me. Was given no instructions on how to access the course nor was given any type of direct warning about being taken off the schedule. It is astonishing to me the owner took me off the schedule with no one to replace me while they are short staffed. It is very disrespectful to their employees to not even accommodate to their daily lives on what they have going on. Don't bother working here. You will work hard for the company and receive no positive reinforcement or respect. There is several managers, and no communication from the owners so good luck actually being treated with respect here. Just don’t waste your time here and find something that is worth your time. Extremely short staffed and everyone calls out so good luck doing everyone else's job including your own. No bussers so they will pay you 3$ as a server but make you do server and busser work. RUN!

LinkedIn has a wonderful inclusive, learning, growth-mindset oriented culture that is very strategically important to thier overall innovative and collective organizational success. My team utilized and prioritized very effective collaborative and transparent, yet supportive team-oriented performance behaviors- while giving autonomy to complete projects and take initiative on new initiatives to grow your skillset. Wonderful culture, benefits, technological collaboration, and performance standards aligned with your personal technical expertise and capabilities. LinkedIn is a tremendous company to work for!

when I came to Le Moyne College, I immediately applied to IT.  I have always enjoyed a challenge with my at home business of building and selling computers, but I wanted the opportunity to experience a network - like a college.  I have received training on how to navigate, improve, restructure, and maintain a network for over 3,000 students, and 500 faculty members.  I have had the pleasure of working with virtually every laptop on campus, train faculty - even the president of the campus - and establish myself as a trust worthy and hardworking individual.  Because of my workmanship at Le Moyne in IT, I have been hired freelance a number of times to do work at faculty homes, other cooperations have hired me temporarily to troubleshoot issues, and I have helped aid in the upgrading of Le Moyne's VM network that replaced our old Win Xp machines.

Though its known for great work/life balance and you get great benefits,great food and interact with friendly, smart co-workers, the work/life balance part does not really hold true if you have a bad manager. There is a side to this company that really needs to improve - it has really inexperienced middle level management and almost no accountability for the manager - they can pretty much do what they want and no one holds them accountable. Unfortunately, your life can be difficult at LinkedIn if you have a bad supervisor. Upper management is great though. Investigate prospective manager and team thoroughly before accepting an offer.

I was fortunate to be part of this wonderful company, whose business actually helps improve the lives of people around the world. As a Systems Engineer Intern at LinkedIn, I was part of Compute Engineering team. I had the chance to learn and understand how LinkedIn operates with its Data Centers around the world. I had a wonderful mentor who would help me understand my job well. I also had a visionary manager whose intentions actually inspired me to work more passionately. My typical day would include, writing python scripts for an application development, weekly meetings with mentor or manager or the entire team. The encouragement I received, never made me think I had a hard job and I enjoyed every part of my time as an intern here. One thing that LinkedIn taught me is that to build strong relationships.

This role was a non-technical role but allowed me to apply my organizational and planning skills to help LinkedIn expand globally through Sales and Marketing offices. This was my first entree into the Sales world. 
I learned how to work through setting up facilities, employee contracts per country, IT needs and other specific requirements for setting up offices based on the region. This was very, very different than my past roles in technology based groups.  This also required data analysis to determine which countries we should open office s in and when. 
The hardest part of the job was the large amount of international travel and this was at times, the most enjoayable part as well as I was able to have in person meetings with employees in various regions around the world.
