LinkedIn reviews

- Weak Senior leadership. Current CEO (Ryan R) and his team do not have a strong understanding of market. - Heavy focus on revenue without any care of whats a good customer experience - Feels like Forced layoffs in the form of PIP quotas. no proper Annual comp increase is forcing good people to leave - There has been months of indecisiveness in the form of whether they will layoff, flatten managers. It is causing a lot of angst and stress amongst employees. - The CEO & His team have not addressed any of the tough questions in Company All Hands, scripted answers and heavy lack of transparency. - Amongst management (Dirtector+) there is no regard for good managers - It has become extremely political where Sr. Leadership favors middle managers that has worked with them before. A lot of discrimination during this year calibrations across the company. - Has become a sweatshop without the perks of good compensation

For a small company, it's highly political. It contradicts itself on several levels: 1. By claiming to hire the best, but it hires incompetent leaders (especially middle management) and keeps legacy poor performers who are in the wrong roles (a.k.a., the Peter Principle). 2. There is further hypocracy by not abiding by its values. It has become too layered with management that is inaccessible and won't share information. 3. It claims to be a global company, yet it mandates that in order to have any career path, you must be at the HQ in Mountain View. Exceptions are made to certain telecommuters on a hush-hush basis--but not to others--therefore creating unfair practices. As an internet company in this century, I would expect more flexibility in order to retain and attract employees. 4. Benefits are marginal at best for an internet company trying to compete against the big boys. You may as well work at a bank. 5. Wants to be a big player and has the attitude of its neighbor, but it is not implementing practices to compete. 6. It's impossible to have a career path at LinkedIn when they have poor management, poor communication, and oversight of great talent.
