Pros

Lots of perks and a good introduction. Pretty attractive package offered at the first place that led to assumptions that you would make some money.

Cons

Sad place to work with unrealistic targets and a complete lack of collaboration, you are on your own....period. You have to find out how things works by trial and error. I was very surprised by the unconnected work environment and very boring useless routines, no dynamics at all. Working hours is like a competition, the one who stays long hours wins.

Pros

IT controllership org is full of junks added and they just scratch each other's back, try not going into team. Well you cannot go unless you know some one:)) Many good and Horst employee quit over a year.

Cons

Engineering is really good and fun to work but not This IT finance controllership org. Almost all teams Rollup to one VP , and that person controls all people under. People are well connected under this person so cannot voice out else you are fired .

Pros

The usual tech company perks, world class products, no real competition, sharp senior leadership/exec team. If your dream is to be a big company that is changing the world, this is the place to be. You can have a life outside of LinkedIn, which is great. It's also not as cult-like compared to places like the big G, which is a huge plus if you're a normal person. LinkedIn changed my life. Depending on where you are in your career and what you want, this may or may not happen to you as well.

Cons

Open, honest and constructive is the LinkedIn way...unless you actually suggest things might not be that great or that there are problems. If you do, you'll find yourself labeled as "negative" and a "complainer." So much for feedback being a gift. There is very little upward mobility in Talent Solutions these days. Great opportunity for those starting out in sales, but If you're more experienced, you'll run out of options quickly. Middle management is the weakest link. Another review mentioned "they wouldn't be qualified to run a McDonald's" - while that's pretty harsh, I'm not going to say that isn't far from the truth. Front line managers are great at parroting back the company line on issues, collecting your forecast, and asking "how can I help?" - with a few exceptions, very little value was ever added by a front line manager. Some bizarre people decisions over the past couple years. Tons of "are you serious" moments on the floor with the large number of political promotions. Relationships Matter.
