Pros

Brand recognition is obvious and market share is huge. Great standards and quality people.

Cons

Almost too big. Unrealistic expectations and almost a victim of their own success. Detachment from reality in terms of the market. No room to progress internally - but if you do well there it will give you good opportunites and experience to leave and do well elsewhere. You will have to work evenings and weekends to be in contention to hit targets. Lack of collaboration. Team mates snaking deals from under you and some reps not sharing best practices or how to success.

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.
