Pros

Benefits, strong products, great internal tool for creating presentation slides, strong first line leaders

Cons

Do you like selling? LinkedIn would rather you spend 90% of your time fighting internally to get order forms created than hustling to create new pipeline. Do you like tickets? You’ll be creating and responding to tickets from 9am to 8pm each and every day. The process is out of control. It’s is incomprehensible how hard it is to get pricing and a final order form. Something that should take 15 mins takes 3-7 days because rep autonomy & access has been taken away. There has been so much change that it’s causing mental health issues for the majority in Enterprise Sales. Executive leadership clearly thinks our products sell themselves. We’ve moved our post sale customer support model to self serve. This puts insane pressure on the AD’s to find ways to help our customers, yet we don’t have full access to their accounts. I cannot recommend making a career change into LinkedIn sales with so many issues standing in the way of helping your would be customers.

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.
