LinkedIn reviews

I worked at other very high profile Silicon Valley tech companies and found LinkedIn to be very dysfunctional, especially the senior management team. A lot of ego despite the internal propaganda that there isn't. I also found LI to be highly political and not focused on creating the best results. Senior leaders in the US including the CEO and his immediate team simply are not great business people (look at profitability over 10 years - and Lynda, the latest in a long line of gaffes) and focus too much time on their image within the company and externally. I've personally encountered racism and gender bias and when it was raised to HR, some action was taken however nothing ever came of it and no changes were made. To be fair I think there are some great teams at LinkedIn, however these are not the norm and what you will likely experience, should you join LI, is a dysfunctional environment where it is very difficult to get things done and make a substantial impact. Most of the really smart, great men and women I knew at LinkedIn have moved on or are looking to move on.

This is gonna be very huge: I truly respect Jeff and his Team, but not the managers in Bangalore location. GCO is the worst group to be a part of. You will need to kill you self-respect in order work in GCO. The company has very good values, but no one follows them. During the skip level meetings with HR and Directors, they would ask us to be open, but when you give open feedback, you'll be under the worst manager's radar. You will be targeted all the time. I've seen a lot of good people leaving the company because of the managers, and their worst behavior. There are a lot of gossip mongers on the floor, and if someone doesn't like you, you will be unnecessarily have to face the consequences. In fact, I was one of the victims. My manager has ruined my career, and forced me to resign. I tried escalating this issue to Akshay, but I thought not to waste my time because people doesn't know the meaning of honesty. There was no exit interview. If your manager doesn't like you, you will be treated very badly at the time of exiting the company. I was humiliated too on my last working day. My manager who has ruined many lives is still in LinkedIn, and leading a bunch of inefficient people. People has no guts to complaint against her. Jeff, please save the sold talent which is wrong hands in Bangalore. The close associates of director, and the managers would get promoted. It is not a place for talent.
