Pros

A few good people - but they do not work in sales teams.

Cons

The hiring process was misleading, with several promises that were either inaccurate or completely false. The talent/learning org is best avoided. The company culture felt inauthentic and forced, with a prevalent lack of genuineness among employees. UK leadership across all divisions is subpar, characterised by a lack of decision-making ability and management expertise. Favoritism is rampant, with preferential treatment given to friends in account assignments. New hires are often burdened with poorly managed accounts, dissatisfied customers, and unrealistic targets compared to tenured representatives. Performance improvement plans (PIPs) or probation extensions are common, often due to managers' failure to provide adequate support and their refusal to take responsibility. The PIP metrics are unattainable for most representatives, yet they are still expected to meet them. HR consistently sides with managers, disregarding employee concerns. High turnover is a constant, but the company relies on its brand to attract a steady stream of new hires. The term "Enterprise Accounts" at LinkedIn is misleading, as these accounts do not align with the industry standard for enterprise level. DEI initiatives feel forced and unnatural, leading to feelings of imposter syndrome among employees from ethnic backgrounds.

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.
