What are the benefits & perks at linkedin?

Hi, We built http://perks.guide to help job searchers compare perks at different companies. We've been trying to source data for linkedIn(SF + Sunnyvale) but have come up short so we're trying to fill in the gaps from the blind community. Here's what we have so far: Data we have: Compensation Philosophy: Biggest raises come with promotions! Top tier (top 20%) get refreshers otherwise you don't get very much. Vacation/Time Off: Unlimited PTO PTO/Sick Days: Unlimited PTO Meals/Food: Reputation for having amazing food. Free Breakfast, lunch & dinner (starts 7pm) Snacks: Comprehensive set of snacks, cookies, ice cream etc. as well as healthy options like smoothies, fruit, protein bars etc. Coffee/Drinks: Variety of bottled drinks, coffee, soda, milk juice etc. Select locations may have kombucha, smoothie bars and extensive expresso machines 401k Matching: 50% match up to IRS limit. $9250 with a $18500 contribution Health/Fitness: $2000 towards fitness classes, memberships, massages, gym etc. Company Holidays: 17 paid holidays including fully paid July 4th and end of year shutdown Cell Phone Allowance: 80$/month Charity Donation Match: Match up to $1000/yr Shuttle to work: Yes Public Transit Benefits: Free Caltrain pass Parking benefits: Free parking Maternity/Paternity Leave: 12 weeks for father or mother Childcare: Child-care can be expensed as part of $2000 perk-up bonus Surrogacy, InVitroFerillization, adoption assistance: $5000 for adoption, $20000 for surrogacy Onsite Facilities: Beautiful renovated offices in both Sunnyvale & San Francisco. Unique architecture and layout results in a vibrant dynamic work environment. Roof views, onsite gyms and quiet areas are nice touches. Onsite dental, car wash, dry cleaning and oil changes. Dog friendly Policy: No Break time activities: Foosball tables, music lessons/jam room, massage rooms (depending on location) Tuition: 5000$ towards tuition reimbursement per year Misc. : 15% off stock off the lowest market price in the last record period Data we're missing Mental Health/Therapy: ? Green Card Sponsorship: ? Ridesharing benefits: ? Life Insurance (Paid in case of death or serious injury): ? Health Insurance (basic): ? Company contributions to HSA (Health Savings Account): ? Can someone from linkedin help verify or fill in some of the gaps? It would be much appreciated! Have a nice weekend. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have as well.

1 inDay per month: there are fun(and not fun) events you can participate or just work on something not related to your job.

Amazon perksguid OP May 13, 2019

woah sounds cool, I haven’t been able to quantify events and days etc. though I’ll look for that in the future.

LinkedIn pixel.3a May 13, 2019

Yep. On inDays, no questions will be asked if you don’t show up in the office, some people choose to go out hiking or just stay at home.

Public transit benefit : $125/mo for bart/clipper. Sf only.

PayPal 168to669 May 13, 2019

Ooo thank goodness, was wondering as someone who would be working in the SF office and not near caltrain but near BART

Shire jet7 Jul 15, 2021

Can you use Public transit benefits AND still get $15 off Lyft rides?

LinkedIn GUPS30 May 12, 2019

A few others: Premium LinkedIn Subscription, free online WSJ sub, free online FT sub, free online HBR sub, access to a large library of ebooks via Microsoft; comprehensive coverage for health/wellness (free for self, minimal cost for couples or family); including things like therapy, etc

Amazon perksguid OP May 13, 2019

sounds good! thanks

Great idea! I think combining the scoring chart and the guide into one table will make it easier to use. I'd be interested to see how easy it is to be promoted here (if that's considered a benefit/perk?)

LinkedIn pixel.3a May 12, 2019

Yeah something like “avg time it takes from SWE to Sr SWE: 2 years”.

Amazon perksguid OP May 13, 2019

I would consider that as career progression, I’m gonna try to represent that thanks!

LinkedIn pixel.3a May 12, 2019

Oh and vintage pinball machines that are really fun. And Xbox(or playstation)

LinkedIn AreyouIN May 13, 2019

Really? Where

LinkedIn pixel.3a May 13, 2019

LinkedIn ctheg May 12, 2019

Life insurance is 1 million

LinkedIn findTheDot May 12, 2019

You are shocked, Amazon, aren’t you? We have a little more than just bananas.

LinkedIn ctheg May 12, 2019

What's wrong with you lol

Amazon perksguid OP May 13, 2019

LinkedIn Jdawg2020 May 13, 2019

Damn we got it going on 😉

Amazon mahasan Jun 19, 2019

Awesome work, thanks a lot OP! Going to reach back to that LinkedIn recruiter now. t. Amazon

Amazon mahasan Jun 19, 2019

@OP you should include whether post-tax 401K is allowed (hint: not at Amazon), which allows mega backdoor roth.
