LinkedIn reviews

Extreme Left Policies are part of most team/company meetings and comms. Entitled employees. During COVID layoffs, employees literally demanded we get free lunches sent to our homes. White Conservatives are not welcome. You have to hide your political views, and if you are unvaccinated you are not allowed into offices or even the Global Sales Kickoff in Vegas. Big Pharma sponsors our events, and then vaccine mandates followed. Constant emails and posts from leaders about LinkedIn's Democratic political views (pro-abortion, political candidates, vaccination stance, etc.) They pride themselves on being "Inclusive" but only if you are left winged and not a white male. Quotas double every half, but pay stays the same. CEO never went to college, but they hide that and still recommend it for jobs here. He is a product guy, cares less about sales teams and process.

This is hard to say, but needs to be addressed: LinkedIn is a company that prides itself on being compassionate, to use Jeff Weiner’s word specifically. Unfortunately, for the recruiting org, there has been a mass exodus after the 2020 layoffs. The main culprit being the culture shift. Ex: getting promoted is extremely difficult. This last year after lay-offs not one recruiter was promoted, but a Manager was promoted. Anyone who was targeting to get promoted has to wait another full year. Favoritism is a real issue here. Ex: While you will be told it’s unlimited vacation, any time off outside of the company shutdowns is not encouraged. Ex: there are quarterly surveys asking how to be better, how your Managers can be better. Despite feedback, nothing is ever done to rectify any alarming issue. But you will always be told how to be better, no matter what. Overall issue: LinkedIn started out as a welcoming company with a start up mentality. Now it’s more of a grind company with a “clique” energy and you’ll find yourself saying how great it is, but also feeling like you’re never enough. Personally, I’d rather work for a company that is honest about the work expectations and long term agenda.
