I would not recommend LinkedIn as an employer - Anonymous employee LinkedIn Employee Review

LinkedIn promises a culture of empowerment and diversity with catching phrases like 'Take intelligent risks' and 'Act like an owner' in their career website, however, my experience with this employer did not live up to that standard. It was tainted by what it seems as a bureaucratic culture where managers centralised decision-making and were unresponsive to questions. During my tenure with LinkedIn, I sensed that my managers were unaware of the corporate social responsibility standards held against the company, which seem to promote balanced work life among other benefits. However, it appears that employees constantly worked until late hours without clear management guidance or direction. As a result of this approach to management, no matter how hard or well employees worked their performance evaluation would still be subject to managers' expectations rather than an objective process to review their achievements and shortcomings, creating space for biases to creep in. In relation to work flexibility, this did not seem to exist on my team. My managers centralised every aspect of the work as opposed to allowing me to choose methods or techniques. Nor they assigned me ownership of issues. The centralisation of work significantly reduced my enthusiasm and satisfaction with the employer. During interactions with Human Resources, I sensed the professionals therein were unaware of the high standards of ethical and philanthropic expectations that I held against LinkedIn due to their talent acquisition program. Moreover, HR seemed to listen to corporate gossip rather than verifying facts. If you value work flexibility and transparency, I would advise you to find other companies that can reach higher levels in these areas.
