Vantaggi
The culture and LinkedIn used to be great, and you really can't go wrong with Microsoft Stock as part of compensation
Svantaggi
LinkedIn Executives don't seem to have any clear sense of strategy or how to help LinkedIn grow. They're constantly looking for new shiny things and have moved far away from helping professionals succeed in their careers. Just look at the AI-created help articles and Games as examples of the lack of clear focus and strategy - not to mention the Feed becoming less and less professional. Due to this lack of direction, people are being asked to work harder, longer, and for less pay. (That's right, because the company isn't doing as well within the context of larger Microsoft, LinkedIn is cutting down significantly on raises, promos, and stock refreshes. Many people hit their 4 year cliff, and due to a lack of additional stock see a ~30% hit in their total annual compensation. It's incredibly uninspiring and de-motivating). Finally, HR is a joke. There are male leaders who are notorious for not working well with women, and HR does nothing about the fact that all of the women under these leaders quit, are managed out, or leave. Managers are being encouraged to performance manage out more employees so the company can avoid layoffs. Given the current trajectory, it's possible that LinkedIn will plateau, if not decline, in the next 5 years.
