Pros

- A shared and uncompromising believe to conduct business with integrity and put member's first - Most people are goal oriented and very dedicated to bring LinkedIn mission and vision to life - Great benefits - Management cares about your well being - Best perks in town, but subpar compared with offices in other locations - Despite of acquisitions and multiple reorgs, the culture remains strong - Competitive salary - The overwhelmingly majority of people are friendly, helpful and respectful

Cons

- Talent retention seems an area that is neglected. There is a heavy focus in new talent and the sentiment you need to leave the company and come back in order to be able to grow is increasing - Some organizations and locations are stigmatized which results in less opportunities to grow - While LinkedIn's vision is to create economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce, it hasn't joined the ranks of Facebook and Google by removing college degree requirements for a lot of positions that experience could be a substitute - Some teams are becoming very hierarchical and there are few bad apples who use politics to accomplish personal agendas

Pros

Great for someone in their 20's/early 30's to work. Really nice People Great Commission Structure Unreal Office Free Food Gym Free Health/Dental Care 25 days off + time off at Christmas (no need to use days) + Extended Jan Leave optional Pension Massive Product Improvements over last 12 months Great Brand to work for, should help you get another job in the future

Cons

Only as good as your last Quarter, can hit your year early the minute you start tanking they'll be onto you Management are sometimes Sheep, just Yes Men. Promotions go to the wrong people most of the time, complete brown nosers. Who waste everyone elses time doing projects just for them to look good with no real outlay. You could be a subpar rep just dragging yourself across the line but if you someone's best mate you'll go far. However I'm sure that's not unique to LinkedIn but so omnipresent here. You can try get on with hitting your number but you'll have to do all this extra stuff that isn't in your role to look good With the Takeover, trips like GSK have been pulled which is understandable. Rumours of commission structure changing so reps make less money. Fixed Salary is way behind other SaaS Vendor's like SFDC/Docusign Made do ton's of trainings that are irrelevant No Autonomy in the role like before, everything is micro managed like your a child. If you've a bad manager you're going nowhere, they've give some sales roles and sales manager roles to people who haven't sold anything in their life and frankly haven't a clue how to help you.

Pros

Really friendly coworkers, great food, laid-back atmosphere.

Cons

If you're ambitious but not good at "politicking," it's pretty hard to thrive here. More than anywhere else I've been, your success depends on how much your manager cares about you.
