What is a typical working day like at LinkedIn?

Benefits Perks Salary Flexibility Some people are friendly

Chaotic Reactive // no planning Horrible managers Toxic work environment Poor work life balance (some teams you pretty much work all day and night)

Good pay. Quality of benefits you would expect in tech

I have worked for LinkedIn Learning for many years and have witnessed significant changes in the organization's culture and direction. Recent leadership changes have transformed what was once a highly productive, agile, passionate and motivating work environment into a more rigid and micromanaged workplace. The current management approach has shifted toward increased oversight and scrutiny that feels more performative than strategic. Decision-making processes that previously emphasized research-driven strategies and learner-focused outcomes now seem designed primarily to satisfy internal expectations rather than serve our audience effectively. This cultural shift has had concerning impacts on both team morale and external relationships. The increased focus on compliance and control has created a more tense work atmosphere, while our long-established partnerships with subject matter experts and instructors have become strained due to operational changes. The leadership team appears to believe they are implementing innovative strategies, but many of these approaches feel like repackaged versions of previous methods, now delivered with additional layers of oversight that reduce team autonomy and creativity. Given these substantial changes to the work environment and strategic direction, I cannot currently recommend LinkedIn Learning as an employer. The organization would benefit from reassessing its management philosophy to better balance accountability with the collaborative, innovative culture that previously made it successful and a place employees could be proud to work.

The internal team, particularly those who have been with the company longer, are generally commendable colleagues. They are known for their proficiency, strong work ethics, and amiable nature, effectively balancing productivity with a sense of enjoyment in their work.

Disparities in benefits and compensation across different regions and teams have been noted, raising concerns about fairness and consistency within the company. There's an increasing tendency among managers and more senior contributors to engage in political maneuvering. Such actions are eroding the people-centric culture that was once a hallmark of our organization. This shift away from our core values not only impacts morale but also detracts from the inclusive and supportive environment we have striven to build. It appears that recent budget cuts may be influencing the hiring quality, leading to a noticeable difference in the competency levels between new hires and those who joined the team earlier. This shift in hiring standards impacts the overall effectiveness and the team dynamics. There are significant concerns regarding the competence of “LinkedIn suppliers” who provide support to internal employees. Their effectiveness and skill levels are, unfortunately, questionable and do not seem to meet the minimum standards.
