Want to change the world, come to LinkedIn

Director

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

culture and values are the bedrock of LinkedIn. Exciting place to work with 3 distinct lines of business (Talent Solutions, Marketing Solutions and Premium Subscriptions) provide stability to the companies performance

Cons

LinkedIn has pretty severe title deflation similar to Google and Facebook so applicants should be aware they may have to make a lateral move or even a "step down" in title to come to LinkedIn

Love it, best job I have had

Business Outlook

Pros

I commenced my career at LinkedIn 3 years ago. Since then I have travelled across the US and Asia (I'm an Aussie), had several promotions, and enjoyed a transformative career experience. I work with a passionate and intelligent group of people who enjoy what they do. LinkedIn is filled with people that can choose to work anywhere, and love being here.

Cons

You will be working with very some bright minds. If you want to stand out then you need to be proactive and take initiative. Opportunities are there for the taking, but no one is going to do it for you....

Can be difficult accessing the broader business whilst working in Perth, but that's more of a daylight saving problem !
