Great company & culture - just not in Ops

Sales operations analyst

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

- Great C-level executives and their directs. Have great visions & values and they actually practice them. - Free lunch, snacks, drinks, etc in the California office locations - regular company activities to promote team building. - Very open to making opportunities for yourself - your manager won't help you, but if you can make the connections yourself, do it!

Cons

- Poor management and director level leadership - Mismatch between compensation and work expectations between groups - Regularly hires managers externally than promoting ready and eager analysts from within due to over-valuation of an MBA and management consulting experience from the big three (Bain, BCG, McKinsey) despite them NOT being that bright or having people management experience

Great Opportunities Require Sacrifice

Event manager

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

The culture and values are real. Casual atmosphere breeds familiarity and easy accessibility to high level executives.

Cons

The demands and pacing quickly overwhelm talented people who have been top performers their entire lives. It is extremely hard to get headcount despite the exponential growth of the company. If you're not a salesperson or an engineer, expect to work with extremely lean resources and ever increasing demands.

Pros

Linkedin treats you like an adult, people can be themselves, you'll have the opportunity to accelerate your career, very fun culture and most people are grateful to be here! A job you never dread going to...

Cons

It's a modern day good ol' boys network. The same people are constantly getting promoted in the sales org. Many of the executive sales leadership team and higher ranks have little to no sales experience and are often focused on non-related businesses, internal side projects or jetting off to foreign countries for what seems like frequent "team meetings". Pay is definitely sub par; no focus on improved compensation or presidents club, quotas are astronomical, new business / account executive team is heavily favored over relationship management org.
