LinkedIn FAQ

Pros

The benefits at LinkedIn are really good, good salary, free breakfast and lunch, gym, etc.

Cons

The pressure to perform can be quite high

Pros

great package with multiple benefits and a good salary. Good worklife balance and cultural values.

Cons

there's nothing that I would add as a con at Linkedin

Pros

raditionally, most benefits used to fall under one of the four major types of employee benefits, namely: medical insurance, life insurance, retirement plans, and disability insurance.

Cons

These benefits may include, group insurance (health, dental, life etc.) retirement benefits, education loan, other loans (house loan, vehicle loan etc), sick leaves, vacation as well as flexible alternative arrangements.

Pros

Life-changing opportunities, tons of training and development, autonomy, fun culture, super talented colleagues, incredible maternity leave compensation, great compensation and benefits, and I love the actual product (LinkedIn).

Cons

Super demanding, focus on negative feedback vs positive, tons of internal meetings, many internal projects with no follow through, hyper growth = huge quotas, quotas set by the half (not annual), internal competitiveness for promotions and recognition, US focused so Canada is often forgotten about or unaware of our holidays, laws, etc, management is hit or miss (either the best manager I’ve ever had or the worst).

Advice to Management

Please pay more attention to diversity with employees who want to work remote and thrive in a rural setting vs urban. Please help women in sales who are approaching and returning from mat leave to feel better supported - even (especially?) if there’s a global pandemic!

Pros

Good pension plan Amazing food Compensation plan quite fair and competitive

Cons

Paternity leave is a joke. If you are planning to become a father at some point, at the same time, they have amazing maternity benefits, the paternity benefits are just ridiculous. Tech companies much more smaller offer 12 weeks of paternity and they have 2 weeks + 4 of Parent´s leave (which by law is actually up to 5). Their culture of Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging might look nice but when it comes to this, it is clear that at least in Ireland, the sexism is still there and from HR and Benefits team, they still think that only the mother is the one that need to take care of the newborn and it makes the father impossible to help her.
