Pros
LMS-Campaign Manager role is great, as well as the team, the managers, the salary, the package, the perks, the culture and the career progression.
We are expanding and gonna double our headcount at the Dublin office from the current 1000 to 2000 ppl by end of next year.
Definitely a recommended career change for anyone who is multilingual and who can deal with a fast-paced, growing and international corporation-environment.
I can honestly say that LinkedIn is very competitive, your choice whether you focus on the core job or push yourself and totally own your career by taking and identifying global projects and constantly learn new skills.
With Lynda and the great training opportunities internally progress is really up to you and depending on your time management skills and work-life balance management.
There are thousands of new positions internally and the company always prefers internal applications/referrals.
The competition is huge though, so if you are a challenge chaser you have to make sure that you constantly exceed expectations and so that you can progress.
Managers are pushy in terms of getting the real best out of you and help you develop, doing so by not micromanaging you.
Definitely not a startup any more as there is massive hyper-growth in the Dublin office (EMEA HQ with new office in progress), but managers are fortunately still very open to suggestions regarding any reasonable process-,workflow-,even core job changes in case you have a plan in place how to maybe pilot a reasonable responsibility change within your team first, then if it's succeed, even globally.
So be honest and constructive, act like an owner and do take intelligent risks and never stop learning. If you remain to be committed and motivated along the way, the hard work will be appreciated and ROI guaranteed.
Transformation is very welcomed but you are the only one who is really owning your career progression. The opportunity and support is there for you.
Cons
- hyper-growth
- Work-life balance is poor in AdOps and most of other departments as well
- can be extremely fast-paced and so requires very strong pushback skills if you want to prevent yourself from burn-outs
- middle management sometimes lacks on having adaptive management styles
- Can be too pushy and very challenging
- High expectations but lack of real positive feedback if you succeed in your core job. They want more than that --> transformation plan, action plan, skills development, global and mandatory projects needs to be taken on for promotion.
- Doing just your job won't be enough to thrive here
