Pros

* Very Instagram-mable company experience (beautiful offices and extensive PR) * Great perks (from free food and free gym to equity plan) * Flexibility (remote work etc.) * Travel opportunities * If you work in Sales (only): Great trainings. rewards & recognition

Cons

* Doctor-backed disability seen as "gross misconduct" leading to summary dismissal. * Raising concerns to management causes encouragement to resign, threat to be fired, and sudden consideration of a Performance Improvement Plan. * Bad managers blindly supported by HR (via collective HR bullying). * Lawbreaking: Falsification of documents; False statements etc. * Unprofessional/toxic HR/managers: Absent objective setting; Late probation period confirmation (6 months delay); Late bonus payment (1 year delay); 6 months wait for HR to start investigation of complaint (backed by evidence); HR request for reimbursement of salaries from employee on sick leave. * Outside US: Severe under-staffing (3-4 x) known to management. Hence high stress, alarming turnover (100% team reshuffling in a year), bad work-life balance and burnout. Backfill delays. No proper transitions. * Below-market salaries * Meeting culture (yet ghosting). Much bureaucracy (yet lack of structure and poor knowledge management). * Favouritism: Rewards (promotion, training, opportunities) not based on performance but rather on gender and personal preferences. * Sales teams plagued with big egos. Non-Sales people treated as under-class. * For non Sales teams: Very limited access to training (even when trainings are mandatory). Self-learning. No time for "InDays".

Pros

-Control your schedule -Office environment is great -Teammates are nice and helpful

Cons

-Customer Success metrics lack clear ownership and actionable levers. Many CSMs do not have direct control over the outcomes they are measured against, and success narratives are often based on isolated or non-replicable examples rather than scalable processes. -Microsoft’s increased influence over LinkedIn has led to tighter promotion structures and more limited compensation growth pathways. -Product value within the LTS portfolio is inconsistent. LinkedIn Learning struggles with perceived differentiation and impact, while Recruiter’s market position relies heavily on legacy dominance rather than clear ongoing innovation or customer value expansion. -Metric design and performance management frameworks were created without a strong operational understanding of the CSM role, resulting in accountability for outcomes that CSMs cannot directly influence. -While many CSMs share these concerns, there is limited upward feedback or structured challenge to leadership regarding metric design and role effectiveness, which limits opportunities for meaningful reform. They prefer to lick the boots of senior leaders rather than tell AV and his team how they actually feel and see progress to better, more impactful metrics. For individuals who are comfortable with high call volumes (10+ customer interactions per week) and performance metrics that are influenced significantly by external factors rather than direct role ownership, LinkedIn LTS Customer Success can be a suitable environment.
