Pros

Great benefits, especially healthcare High performing environment with great people

Cons

LinkedIn has many leaders who have been with the company for 5-15 years and are more interested in protecting their job and freedom than moving the business forward. There is a lot of resistance to change and it's starting to show in our numbers. Our tech is becoming outdated and there is a false sense of security behind the company brand. More importantly, frontline managers do not know how to lead, and their solution for everything is micro-management disguised behind a "performance management culture." Due to the high amount of turnover, including long tenured high performing reps, books of business have doubled, making it impossible to service our clients. Our comp plan was slashed, putting OTE way under market. Our quotas increased because of an AI release that never happened, mind you we are a Micrsoft company. Our employee voice survey results have consistently declined, and it's clear that there is no interest in improving our culture, celebrating wins, or improving.
