Very bad place to work

Anonymous employee

Pros

Pays well compared to competitors. good vacation time. The opportunity to meet and network with other employees. you run into good people along the way.

Cons

Employees are very competitive with each other. No one wants to work as a team. It's every man for himself, dog-eat dog atmosphere. Training was very poor, was asked to meet impossible deadlines. Management thinks this type of issue is funny.

Pros

LinkedIn as a company is a good place to be. Especially if you work in the US because you're close to the real leaders and the market is much more developed and open to your services. I have worked at LinkedIn Dublin and that's a total different story. The positive side of LinkedIn Dublin: Initially they could hire the best of the best. So real smart people to work with and learn from. However, this is changing as a lot of good people have left and the company is getting a bad reputation as an employer. Another plus is the free food. It's really good food. And there is a decent onsite gym you can use. I like it.

Cons

Let me repeat what I said at the start. LinkedIn US is a great place to be. I have worked at LinkedIn Dublin and that's a total different story. Here is why I left Linkedin Dublin: A cult like culture that nobody really likes and wants to admit. There is too much B.S. and empty buzzwords. For example as a sales rep they say you're evaluated on "leadership, leverage, results". That is a lie. When it comes to the evaluations they only look at results. Horrible sales territory. Linkedin is good at over hiring for specific countries because they know that certain individual sales reps will never make their quota. Ridiculous sales targets. As inside sales you have to bring in way over half a million dollar. The relationship with the field sales reps is close to hatred. Field reps stealing your accounts is a normal thing. And the worst part is that your managers in Dublin don't do anything about it. The field sales reps are generally of a lower quality than the inside sales people because Linkedin does not have a strong employer brand in most European countries outside of the UK. And in general senior leadership in Dublin is of a very poor quality.

Not great at all

Pros

Free food, pension and healthcare benefits

Cons

Very limited career progression opportunities if you are in sales. There's no concrete promotion criteria. Targets unrealistic. Management incompetent, brainwashed, racist. If you are a lousy manager, can apply to Linked- high probability you will get hired as we are not very selective.
