Must work at LinkedIn at some point in your career

Senior brand marketing manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- People! - Holiday and 4th of July shutdowns, in addition to Discretionary Time Off - Breakfast and lunch - Culture and focus on the talent. It's a company about talent, and they do really focus on career development and growth. I've been able to have very honest and open conversations with managers that i haven't been able to have at other companies. - Maternity leave

Cons

- Some departments are starting to feel a bit more big company. The original culture of collaboration has sometimes started to become a culture of consensus. Other teams don't feel this pain, but the team i was on did. - Internal mobility is getting a bit more difficult as you get more senior. They're open to having conversations so you can navigate, but specific opps are becoming less and less available.

Pros

The company has fostered an environment where people are friendly - it is the few companies that I have been in where you feel that most people are more willing to help you if you have questions. Like most tech companies, you get very good perks such as free lunches and a very nice working environment.

Cons

As relationships matter a lot, it seems that performance takes less priority and it can get frustrating when you feel like promotion is more on your relationship with some key stakeholders and your visibility in the company.
