Really Great Experience

Enterprise account executive

Pros

All the perks of working for a tech company...free food, good benefits, good work life balance. Really great people working there

Cons

Poor planning of territories and sales forecasting. Imagining that there was more of an opportunity in places that it didn't exist. This only recently happened and adjustments to headcount were made to right the ship. Otherwise a pretty great place to make money. Who doesn't buy LinkedIn in the talent space? no one!

Amazing Talent from top to bottom - Executive team sometimes not transparent with decision making processes.

Pros

I thought the pay was above market average and the everyday perks were great. The talent around me made work great everyday. Most Director and above positions were held by tremendous individuals.

Cons

As all companies who grow very fast mature, it tends to put more pressure on its employees. LinkedIn is no different. There was a large exodus of meaningful employees in the 2013 year. I feel the company is seen as arrogant by many of its clients, due to inflating prices and general attitude when doing business.

Great culture and values, and management walks the talk

Relationship manager

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent culture and everyone is very friendly and helpful. This is one of the rare companies where almost all employees are engaged, motivated and act as ambassadors to their friends and contacts. There's good work life balance and work arrangements are flexible as long as you can deliver your work. The company also invests in you to ensure proper training and onboarding.

Cons

As things are very fast paced and the Asia presence is still relatively young (3+ years), some of the support functions are still partially based in international HQ Dublin and depending on your role, you may have to liaise across the regions.
