Pros

Lots of technology challenges. Energetic, enthusiastic engineers. Engineers have significant impact in product directions.

Cons

Engineers are not always good at understanding markets and designing products. Consequently, lot of products are merely esoteric and their value propositions are questionable.

Pros

LinkedIn is a phenomenal company my life completely transformed solely because of the growth and money I made while here. I made lifelong friends and family at LinkedIn. I believe LinkedIn has the best of intentions when it comes to the Employee Resource Groups that promote diversity and inclusion. Overall the leadership is incredible and Jeff is an inspirational leader. I loved that LinkedIn was always thinking 5 steps ahead and always thinking about how to innovate their products. Amazing benefits and compensation! The benefits across the board were incredible from 401k, stocks, health, wellness and perk-up, as well as mat/pat leave.

Cons

-While innovation is wonderful, you can't forget about the products that got you to where you are. I don't feel that resources were adequately aligned to older product lines in the talent solutions space. Constant site outages and product issues with Recruiter and Jobs. -Quotas are ridiculously high and difficult to hit especially in the talent solutions space. There are HUNDREDS of competitors and though LinkedIn has a great product, the competition is gaining traction. This should be accounted for in quotas. Be prepared to sell against a lot of companies and to lose budget to newcomers like ZipRecruiter/Muse. -You will maintain the same book of accounts which is great for building relationships with customers however your quotas will still rise even if your book is tapped. -There is no work life balance, too many product trainings, middle management is wishy washy and there is little to no consistency across the board with performance standards. -Tenured upper management resigned consistently the last few months I worked there which to me was concerning. There was no room for them to grow and the culture changed from what it once was. -Lots of red tape since being acquired by Microsoft but thats to be expected.

Pros

Incredible product, great place to work overall. It is really fun and they get creative in ways to motivate you.

Cons

-Not enough support for remote employees. They look down on remote workers. We realize we are lucky to be granted the "right" to work remote but we are your top performers, maybe we should be treated like it. As you grow and your family grows you should be able to work remote and be supported the best way possible. -Raising quota's so high that a majority cannot hit will cause you to lose alot of employees over the next 3-6 months. You change quotas to be higher but you can also lower the quotas when you realize something is off.
