Pros

Great CEO, logo, benefits, and free lunch

Cons

*Very inexperienced front line and middle managers. *Managers sit behind excel and crm spreadsheets vs getting their hands dirty with their reps in the field. *It’s a constant “hammering” on numbers, without any guidance or support in how to get there. *Politics, bureaucracy, and self promotion of your personal brand takes clear precedence over bringing in business and results. *clear “hierarchy” If you are straight out of school, have been at LinkedIn for years, or are older and want to take advantage of their complacency and benefits this job could be for you. If you have experience, and want to grow and make money, I would look elsewhere.

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.
