Pros

LinkedIn's culture is everything that I hoped for and more. By spending about 6 months in the rotational program, you are able to ease into sales by learning about the different business lines and teams before jumping right in. The rotations also set you up for success in terms of learning the products that you will be selling and getting exposure to different departments. The BLP Cohort becomes like a family and you are able to grow with a diverse and impressive group of individuals. The day to day work of the role is not stressful, and you should not have any problems attaining your quota. The work/life balance is amazing - fun activities every week and only 40 hrs/week of work allowed.

Cons

Some of the work in the rotational program is very tedious. When it is time to transition into Sales Development, you are chosen to be on a team without much opportunity for input on which teams you prefer. Not a Con for me, but everyone should know that this program is a sales funnel meant to grow talent for the sales organization. It is not encouraged to look at other roles outside of sales at LinkedIn. There is no encouragement to exceed your quotas for your day to day in-role; only to take on leadership opportunities outside of the role.

Pros

Amazing perks and nice people. Perks: I was able to purchase new luggage with the help of some internal points for my performance. Unfortunately, I have not traveled since I left the company with the luggage. Travel also changed after I took the job and I was a global traveler.

Cons

I ended up quitting my job to look for a new job in 2024. The exit from the company was extremely poorly managed by my manager and the HR staff. I had a very difficult time networking after I left the job which is funny given that it is a social networking platform. I felt like there was still a presence from the company even after joining She Runs It, a third-party networking platform for women. I expected more from LinkedIn during my departure. I was unaware what impact working at this company could have on my career. They should really help their employees with their next role and applying as a lot of the applications occur on the platform. There was only an opportunity to interview and reach out to people that worked for LinkedIn at B2B, even though I have B2C experience. AI has really complicated the process as well with writing etc. since leaving.
