Pros

Great benefits and office perks Minimal to no cold calling -- all email and LinkedIn outreach Good product to sell, easy to demo and understand and customers see value Good chances for relatively fast promotions, if you are wanting to stay in sales

Cons

High pressure sales environment -- while quota is based on quarter, there will be scrutiny if you are not "pacing" even within weeks of quarter starting Market saturation across the best companies Employee tool stack is definitely not best-in-class (which was surprising to me) -- Salesloft, Outlook, Sales Navigator, Microsoft Dynamics CRM. No intelligence tools like ZoomInfo, so you are guessing emails (this is why there is essentially no cold calling)

Pros

LinkedIn has a strong engineering culture, smart and supportive teammates, and meaningful product impact at a large scale. I have had opportunities to work on complex systems, collaborate with experienced engineers, and learn from cross-functional partners across product, design, data, and infrastructure. The benefits, flexibility, and internal learning resources are also strong.

Cons

Because the organization is large, decision-making can sometimes be slow, and priorities may shift before projects fully mature. Promotion expectations can feel different across teams, and the number of meetings can make it harder to protect deep-focus engineering time. Cross-team ownership is not always as clear as it could be.
