Pros

- I'm lucky and have a phenomenal manager - There are a lot of kind, fun, and talented people who work here - If you go into the office, the perks are amazing (food, events, amenities, people) - Work life balance if you want it - Benefits

Cons

- Base salary is lower than most other tech companies - Little to no advancement opportunities for CSMs - CSM onboarding and training is a hot mess - Lack of standardization and institutional knowledge documentation - materials, guides, playbooks, templates, etc. are outdated, incomplete, or wrong - Product issues that Product doesn't understand or take seriously, resulting in CSMs taking the brunt of customer product frustrations - Unreliable (and sometimes downright rude) Technical Support means customers refuse to work with them, putting more work on the CSMs. - Customer Support Help Articles are awful. They are a maze of inaccurate or incomplete nonsense. No one internally seems to care. Again, this has a direct impact on CSMs and makes us feel more like Product Support than Strategic Consultants. - Leadership pushes a narrative about "people first" "transparency" and "valuing DEI" and then completely broke all pretense of actually valuing any of it by not addressing internal layoffs and trying to sweep it under the rug.

Pros

LinkedIn has a strong engineering culture, smart and supportive teammates, and meaningful product impact at a large scale. I have had opportunities to work on complex systems, collaborate with experienced engineers, and learn from cross-functional partners across product, design, data, and infrastructure. The benefits, flexibility, and internal learning resources are also strong.

Cons

Because the organization is large, decision-making can sometimes be slow, and priorities may shift before projects fully mature. Promotion expectations can feel different across teams, and the number of meetings can make it harder to protect deep-focus engineering time. Cross-team ownership is not always as clear as it could be.
