Cult culture. Horrible middle management. Political B.S. all over the place. Joining this cult was a bad idea.

Pros

I recently concluded my tenure at LinkedIn, and while the platform's mission is one I deeply resonate with, my experience differed from what I had anticipated. I encountered challenges with the company culture that did not align with my personal and professional values. There were instances where the work environment felt less inclusive and supportive than I had hoped for, which impacted my experience negatively. Despite these challenges, I also want to acknowledge the opportunities for learning and growth provided by the company. The ability to connect with a vast network of professionals and access to a variety of resources were definite highlights. For prospective employees, I recommend a thorough consideration of the company culture and values to ensure they align with your expectations. It's essential to find a workplace where you can thrive and feel valued.

Cons

While working at LinkedIn, I faced several challenges that shaped my perspective on the company. The team dynamics and company culture did not foster the inclusive and supportive environment that I value in a workplace. Opportunities for advancement seemed limited and were not transparently managed, which often left me and some of my colleagues feeling overlooked and undervalued. Additionally, the feedback mechanisms in place did not always feel effective, with concerns not adequately addressed or acted upon by management. The work-life balance was also a concern, with expectations sometimes extending beyond reasonable working hours without clear compensation or acknowledgment. It's important for potential employees to be aware that while LinkedIn offers a platform with great potential, the internal work environment may not meet everyone's expectations for a positive and progressive workplace.

Pros

Food is great, work life balance can be good depending on your role and boss.

Cons

- "culture" one of the words you'll hear most while working at LinkedIn is collaboration. However, sales targets are very high and individual so, naturally, does not foster collaboration but they will force you to collaborate by taking on projects that move you away from your core role. - Too many social events and not very parent friendly as they all occur after work. - Too many internal initiatives that take time off your day to day and quite useless in terms of the outcome but you have to take part if you want to get promoted. - LMS line of business is FULL of politics and only Irish people get promoted to management. - Many mediocre middle managers with a very infantile management style. - You need to suck up to all managers in the floor otherwise one or 2 may mess up your performance review (they call it callibration) even when you overachieve in results. - If you want to focus mostly or solely on your job, this may not be the place for you.
