Pros

The team members and company benefits.

Cons

Lack of leadership support of the field sales team, broken inbound lead routing, Reps doing unethical actions to hit their number and leadership turns a blind eye. Front line managers claim "victim mentality" when you try to surface concerns about broken processes or unfair situations. Front line managers point their fingers at their team instead of trying to actually fix problems in the org. Managers act like they are never in fear of losing their job and are quick to put reps on PIP's. I've never seen so many reps take a leave of absence for mental health as I've seen here.

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.
