Great product Strong Sales Leadership Great perks and benefits Amazing office location Diverse teams

Cons

As an SD it is almost impossible to achieve targets Marketing leads are so weak that no one should be calling them 95% of the time is wasted on calling weak leads Marketing doesn't know any sales fundamentals and they work in silo Product had limited life - they've captured market share however very hard to grow any further

Pros

Work/life balance, nice office, good perks in line with other US tech companies

Cons

Does not pay as well as other tech companies in Dublin and use "culture" as a way to justify salaries. Systems are sub-par and make managing sales teams next to impossible. Pay reviews are now one annual (with one "lite" mid year review) in line with Microsoft FY, however managers are given a small "budget" to allocate to their team, with no additional budget for promotions, which means that anyone getting promoted will get circa 3-5% increase, and most others very little as there is simply not enough to go around, which means LinkedIn are falling further and further behind on pay
