Pros

1) The perks are great -- free food at every corner, monthly inDays to stretch you beyond your usual work, exercise classes, flexible work schedule, and more. 2) The potential of the company is also hard to ignore -- we're on a trajectory to do great things and the market agrees (as reflected in our stock price).

Cons

1) There is a failure to foster and grow talent, leading to high churn and dissatisfaction among tenured employees. I've been here for 3+ years and have been vocal in my desire to expand my role and grow my career. We lack the internal structure to support employees like me who want to stay at the company but need guidance on where opportunities may lie. So people either get frustrated and leave or simply stay to fulfill their vesting period and get increasingly disgruntled in the process. 2) Inconsistent culture and work/life balance: I have only experienced the Marketing team where employees struggle with being overworked and unable to enjoy the "fun" aspects of working at LinkedIn. Other teams like engineering and product appear to be the opposite.

Pros

Great product, smart people, relaxed work environment, nice office space, free food & drinks. Some outstanding leaders. Some of the most intelligent, dedicated engineers that you'll ever find. Friendly, collegial atmosphere. The company is growing toward a compelling vision and will have a successful exit.

Cons

Highly political environment. Some of the most intelligent and committed employees have been shown the door because they didn't play the game right. Executive & managerial teams have some true stars, but also some total duds. A lot of the folks who have been there for a long time have grown cynical and are to be found whispering among themselves outside the building, "vesting in peace". The engineering team are rock stars, but are floundering amid a lack of process, cohesive vision, sensible product management cycles, and tools to make their work efficient.

Pros

Great benefits, especially healthcare High performing environment with great people

Cons

LinkedIn has many leaders who have been with the company for 5-15 years and are more interested in protecting their job and freedom than moving the business forward. There is a lot of resistance to change and it's starting to show in our numbers. Our tech is becoming outdated and there is a false sense of security behind the company brand. More importantly, frontline managers do not know how to lead, and their solution for everything is micro-management disguised behind a "performance management culture." Due to the high amount of turnover, including long tenured high performing reps, books of business have doubled, making it impossible to service our clients. Our comp plan was slashed, putting OTE way under market. Our quotas increased because of an AI release that never happened, mind you we are a Micrsoft company. Our employee voice survey results have consistently declined, and it's clear that there is no interest in improving our culture, celebrating wins, or improving.
