Great way to ease into your sales career

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
- Management (from direct manager to senior managers to CEO) is transparent, thoughtful, and always put employees / customers first - Love the cohesiveness of the BLP cohort! - Employee resource groups - Managers take feedback really seriously - Benefits are great - Really set up for success as a new-grad
Cons
- Salary isn't as competitive as other new-grad programs, but benefits make up for it - Program is constantly changing, so you have to adapt quickly. But, it's for the good of the company + associates!
