Lots of smoke and mirrors

Pros

Great product with minimal competition Competitive pay Robust employee benefits Owned by Microsoft

Cons

Zero transparency on promotions Lots of politics and a** kissing Superficial commitment to diversity and engagement Mediocre senior leadership - lack of operational knowledge and blind trust on the operations teams Atrocious front line managers that add no value except for being middle men for senior leaders - how did they get hired/promoted? Everyone is out for themselves - no team spirit Undergoing transformation and left tons of gaps for employees at the bottom to address themselves

Pros

Unfortunately nothing comes to mind

Cons

Cautionary tale... Do not join LinkedIn if you have any real world experience as you are just trading time for money, with no value added to your skills D-grade sales managers who lack knowledge, professionalism and industry experience and management skills; incompetence breeds incompetence In my time there, I did not learn anything from my role or manager with the exception of what kind of manager I do not want to be Sales targets are highly unrealistic and tone-deaf to what is happening in the world and with clients As the product is highly discretionary (despite what they will have you believe) means a majority of sales do not achieve their targets and therefore overall pay is significantly below expectations Negligible contribution from cross-functional partners i.e. CSM, marketing etc. means the sales is a one-man/woman force - you will shoulder the burden for everything despite paying for the existence of multiple support departments Below market pay combined with intense stress, toxicity of environment and lack of career growth and learning opportunities means the role is only for those that are desperate

Pros

I work for LinkedIn since 2014, it used to be a great company drived by its values

Cons

LinkedIn like to tell about their culture and values but I cannot see it on the leadership team. Almost 1000 lost their jobs and the communication was given in a very vague and poor way. For months we were trained on "seling with compassion", while the company had no compassion to cut our positions. I would not recommend.
