Rank and Yank. Stagnant Culture. Organizational Politics
Pros
Quite possibly the least competitive place that I have ever worked. You don't really need to work hard if you know how to get in the right side if the politics. The company prints money in the ad side of the house; with very little investment is LinkedIn pays well.
Cons
Quite possibly the least competitive place that I have ever worked, and that shows from the day that you enter the door. There is a bizarre lack of basic skills in sells. This extends into sells management in sales. Executive staff seems to be well aware of this and are trying to implement a change management process, but these are being derailed by the recent Google arrivals who’ve made alliance with the old stagnated LinkedIn guard. The results is accelerating revenue DEGROWTH. This is also the worst possible time because of the scrutiny social media companies are facing after Elon outed many of them for having fake engagement. Customers are losing faith in the product and it shows. There also appears to be the remnants of a culture war present. All in all I would definitely avoid this place unless you are in desperate need of a job. Take the job understanding that you will be targeted or better yet your role has been targeted since before you ever got there. When the stress gets bad just take leave like everyone else, because it will.
