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

Amazing perks and nice people. Perks: I was able to purchase new luggage with the help of some internal points for my performance. Unfortunately, I have not traveled since I left the company with the luggage. Travel also changed after I took the job and I was a global traveler.

Cons

I ended up quitting my job to look for a new job in 2024. The exit from the company was extremely poorly managed by my manager and the HR staff. I had a very difficult time networking after I left the job which is funny given that it is a social networking platform. I felt like there was still a presence from the company even after joining She Runs It, a third-party networking platform for women. I expected more from LinkedIn during my departure. I was unaware what impact working at this company could have on my career. They should really help their employees with their next role and applying as a lot of the applications occur on the platform. There was only an opportunity to interview and reach out to people that worked for LinkedIn at B2B, even though I have B2C experience. AI has really complicated the process as well with writing etc. since leaving.
