Worst managers in the industry

Pros

LinkedIn has its heart in the right place. The executive team tries to do what's best for the employees. The company offers great benefits.

Cons

WLB DOES NOT exist as many people have mentioned here. Maybe it's org specific but in my org people work 12 hours a day. The managers are among the most incompetent ones I've seen in the industry. Because of how the promo process is structured, many people can tick the boxes and become a manager. The managers aren't helpful to their direct reports and constantly expect ICs to do everything by themselves with no support. This results in toxic team culture where teammates don't act as a team but are individuals competing against each other.

Superficial and hypocritical culture

Pros

If you like good food this is the place! Excellent catering services that will help gain few kilos thankfully balanced by very good gym facility. Overall staff very friendly but overall superficial and individualistic. The many events are there to show the world how such a great company LI and to attract young talents.

Cons

Unfortunately Jeff vision and ambition creates a distorted atmosphere where empathy and emotional intelligence is promoted and yet not applied by senior management hiding behind both performance metrics and word of mouth to make decisions. This results in a stab in the back behavior quite unique and that I hadn’t encountered before.
