Pros

1. Very positive culture from the top down. 2. Good sales enablement/development program. 3. Impressive product knowledge program. 4. Nice benefits and perks. 5. Colleagues are very collaborative and 'competition' is relatively non-existent. 6. You're rewarded or penalized based upon your Leadership, Leverage, Results. Honestly, I am not sure how well this works for evaluations, as your Leadership and Leverage 'contribution' is very much up to the 'perception' of your manager. So this falls in the Pros and Cons boxes.

Cons

1. Promotion path is political. 2. Sales quotas are aggressive. 3. Hiring process can be frustrating to outsiders (i.e. candidates trying to get into LinkedIn). It is extremely hard to get hired by LinkedIn, super competitive. LinkedIn is extremely thorough in their hiring process and many candidates are not prepared for how long and disjointed the hiring process can be. Be patient, yet proactive (recruiters have been known to forget to follow up with candidates regarding 'Yes or No'). 4. You're rewarded or penalized based upon your Leadership, Leverage, Results. Honestly, I am not sure how well this works for evaluations, as your Leadership and Leverage 'contribution' is very much up to the 'perception' of your manager. So this falls in the Pros and Cons boxes.

Pros

Amazing perks and nice people. Perks: I was able to purchase new luggage with the help of some internal points for my performance. Unfortunately, I have not traveled since I left the company with the luggage. Travel also changed after I took the job and I was a global traveler.

Cons

I ended up quitting my job to look for a new job in 2024. The exit from the company was extremely poorly managed by my manager and the HR staff. I had a very difficult time networking after I left the job which is funny given that it is a social networking platform. I felt like there was still a presence from the company even after joining She Runs It, a third-party networking platform for women. I expected more from LinkedIn during my departure. I was unaware what impact working at this company could have on my career. They should really help their employees with their next role and applying as a lot of the applications occur on the platform. There was only an opportunity to interview and reach out to people that worked for LinkedIn at B2B, even though I have B2C experience. AI has really complicated the process as well with writing etc. since leaving.
