LinkedIn

"It's not a very accomodating environment for women over 35 years old."

"The culture of the broader company is great. There is sometimes a relaxed approach (regarding urgency) but this depends on team and org as well. As a woman, it pays to be opinionated here, otherwise you can sometimes get trampled or blend into the sea of others. Being selectively vocal has helped me in my career here."

"One of the best companies I've worked at, with plenty of flexibility for work life balance whether you're a man or a woman. Many of my coworkers take multiple periods of maternity and paternity leaves, and there is an honor system in taking time off. Work load can sometimes be challenging, but never intrudes on personal life. Management and leadership takes employee satisfaction seriously. A survey is given every quarter and reviewed to discuss ways to improve. "

"LinkedIn is a great place to work for everyone, but I appreciate the extra support as a women in the workplace. I'm part of our women's ERG, have several mentors and know many colleagues who have used maternity and egg freezing benefits."

"Solid compensation, decent tech, poor work-life balance, lack of diversity and equity. "

"This is the most supportive environment for women I've ever worked in - from ERGs and work flexibility, to benefits and mentorship programs, there is a clear investment from the top down."

"Whilst they are getting better at hiring more women into leadership roles, their executive leadership is still mostly male. "

"good work/life balance options, great benefits, can be tough to grow, depending on the team"

"It’s good exposure, amazing office ambience , young environment , cool vibe "

"If you apply to the Global Customer Operations team, and are a woman of color or any other minority, the journey will be difficult for you to grow into a promotion or a pay raise. Women in general are undervalued here and most of all if they are women of color. The policies and management in place strives to make sure you are so traumatized you will quit your job. Every individual that remains, especially women who have responsibilities outside of their job at home, has a traumatized and battered employee morale and attitude. No one wants to rock the boat hence they're outed and hence they lose their average paying job and good benefits. Reconsider applying to GCO for sure but you might get lucky outside of this department. "

"This is the ideal place to work when it comes to work-life balance, flexibility, parental leave. There are not enough women in leadership positions (yet) but they're getting there..."

"Before taking a role here, you need to ask yourself if you’re ok not having a lot of flexibility. At the end of the day you may get it or you may not. It’s almost impossible to tell unless you know your manager from a previous life or through a friend or colleague. Do your homework, if you can. "

"At the higher levels it a very bro culture, many men have stay at home wives so don't get challenges of parenthood"

"At the higher levels it a very bro culture, many men have stay at home wives so don't get challenges of parenthood"

"LinkedIn has DIBs (diversity, inclusion and belonging) as one of its top priorities and is trying very hard to create a workplace that is great for women. I don't think any company is getting it completely right at the moment and LinkedIn is the same but the intention is absolutely there"

" I experienced racism, sexism, classism, gaslighting, and microaggressions. I reported this all to HR and nothing was done. I felt incredibly uncomfortable and unsupported in this workplace."

"They are serious about building a diverse workforce for women and continue to find ways to drive greater value."

"A great place to grow in your career and thrive"

"Company and executives are committed to and really care about culture and keeping employees happy and healthy. "

"Expect long hours either in the office or at home in order to get ahead."

"Nice perks include allowances for childcare and back-up care, ability to set your own hours (probably depends on your manager) and family-friendly office."

"LinkedIn is absolutely committed to ensuring that women are treated fair and equally."

"The climate is getting better and there's a very strong focus. But, I want us to lead the conversation and have the best options for moms and families"

"I have found LinkedIn to be an inspiring place to work and I have been lucky enough to have received many opportunities to develop and remain challenged"

"LinkedIn does a wonderful job focusing on how to make the employee experience wonderful. That being said, it is not just the company's responsibility to ensure each employee is taking advantage of everything offered to them - it is the individual's job to make sure they are taking advantage of all the benefits offered."

"I've worked here for over a year now and there are a lot of inspiring women at the company. However, they are concentrated in sales and HR roles. The more technical the role becomes, you see a decrease in the amount of women in those roles, especially in leadership positions at the company. However, my team right now is mostly women, my boss is an inspiring woman, and not many judge women who need to work from home or take sick leave for their family."

"I think they are trying to make women feel included, but it really depends on your level and proximity to leadership. Some members of leadership can make it feel like a boys' club."

"This company is all about visibility - unfortunately quiet and hard working does not get you to the top. You need to be prepared to push your way through, very aggressively. Far more men get promoted far more often because of their boisterous demeanor."

"It is hard to get promoted if you are a woman. if you are bold and speak your mind, you are branded too aggressive. If not, you are a door mat. There is no winning."

"Women are well-represented in supporting and more 'mid-level' manager roles but ZERO on the executive team except for (you guessed it) HR and Marketing. Would like to see that change."

"Flex time is not available and promotions appear to be given out randomly. A lot of embittered individuals on the team who stay because they don't know where else to go. Job satisfaction is low in 50% of the team."

"none"

"It is a company that supports women and lives it's culture everyday."

"While leadership is still dominated by white men, there is clearly an effort to dispel that and many women are rising to leadership positions. The majority of mentors I've had are women who have worked their way up. They have many programs for women to support one another and initiatives in place to continue to diversify the workforce. Lots of opportunity--teammates on maternity leave seem to be treated fairly and accommodated justly."

"I view ethnic/cultural diversity as a bigger problem then gender diversity here (though one can drive the other). Analytics can be somewhat chinese culture driven, while engineering somewhat indian culture driven. This leads to differences in how people socialize regardless of gender, but I sometimes feel like I must go out of my way to appear especially technical and competent as a woman, at first meetings with engineers or managers, if I don't want to be dismissed. Generally Business Analytics team has high female representation, and I find my problems are with other teams."

"Lots of opportunities for advancement. Great management. They really care about your career growth."

"I think that LinkedIn is a great company to work at, and can look amazing to outsiders given all of the perks for employees and its mission statement to create a supportive culture. However, do not be fooled into thinking that any corporate establishment is void of at least some small amount of discrimination against women. Whether men or women are aware of the segregation or not, women do have to go an extra step further at this company to be seen as an authority or expert at their role. Men on my team are typically given more projects than the women and are promoted to team lead/manager positions more frequently. It seems to take less effort for men to gain respect. And whether they know it or not, it is inherent in a man's nature to speak down to women (our culture has embedded this into us). Again, this is something seen in all workplace environments to some degree. This statement is just a warning that just because you came to work at LinkedIn, does not mean you will be guarded from these every day experiences and frustrations."

"The company is still working out the kinks. There are some groups that are better than others. The group I was in, ended up being a "boys club"."

"Be very cognizant of the group you are going into and who your manager is. Your success totally depends on how much your manager wants you to succeed."

"LinkedIn is amazing. LinkedIn truly cares about it's employees. You are not a number here. I've been here for over seven years and couldn't imagine a better work environment."

"The entrepreneurial spirit is alive here. If you're wanting to have an opportunity to "act like an owner" this is the place. I am not micro-managed at all and have the ability to make important decisions. Everyone has equal chance to be promoted and they encourage you to apply for a promotion whenever possible. I also find LinkedIn extremely accommodating to pregnant and new mothers/fathers. The flexibility with our schedules is so helpful when dealing with our children."

"Women are given the ability and encourages to direct their own career - see Reid Hoffman's book "The Alliance" for the leadership philosophy on creating an atmosphere of positive succession. We are all driven towards the larger mission of "Connecting the world's professionals to make them more productive and successful" and are encouraged to find ways to make this come to life in our daily work. Finally, we are continually driven and reminded that we need to develop mastery in our expertise so that we can pay it forward and help others."
