        Pros

        Excellent product, world-class benefits, above average pay, relaxed dress code, growth opportunities, and friendly atmosphere. I love the management philosophy of Leadership, Leverage, Results. Early on in every position, the employee is asked "what is your next play." The company is always looking to determine your next role and opportunity.

        Cons

        LinkedIn hires on pedigree and age. Most managers are under 30, directors are under 40, and anyone over 40 is a rarity. Important positions will be staffed based on the university the employee graduated from, rather than work experience. Sales process is being created by recent Ivy League grads who have never sold. Some sales and service director positions have been filled with individuals who are extremely smart but have limited to no experience selling and retaining. The attitude is if you are smart, you can lead any team no matter if you have zero experience doing your staff's actual trade. The millennial focus is highlighted in many aspects of the culture. At the 2016 global sales organization meeting, messaging was all about "you are the best-of-the-best" and that LinkedIn would not be successful without the individual job you do. Top performers were highlighted in front of thousands of employees. As the employee came to the stage to receive their well deserved award, videos of colleagues commending them were shown. Interspersed among work-centric kudos, the awardee's parents were shown in the videos congratulating their child and stating how proud they were of them. For a non-millennial, it was weird to see their parents congratulating their kid in a work setting. But this is also a company who holds Bring Your Parents to Work Day.

      4. Times are tough in tech. Anyone actually enjoy working for their companies? Which companies have maintained their positive culture during the macro downturn? I can say with certainty, LinkedIn is not one of those companies.

      5. Hi friends, hope everyone is well 💗 I’m having a hard time after a few great years at LinkedIn — started as PMM and promoted to SPMM but maxed out my room to grow. I started right out of bschool (CBS), did my internship at Amazon in product management and open to hopping back across to PM or continue in product marketing. If anyone could refer me to big/medium tech (or have wisdom to share) I promise to use any and all opportunities for good (: Thanks a mil

      For interviewers/recruiters based in UK, do you consider candidates from the EU? or only in very rare scenarios i.e. the skillset is very specific and almost nobody who applied fits the profile

      Senior Software Developer

      Just had an remote interview for a job in a company that has no reviews or news online and seems to be a part of a subsidiary of a company with one star review. On the remote interview, there was the hiring manager and a tech lead but none of them had the video camera on, only me (which made me feel quite uncomfortable). What do you think about it? Are those red flags? I don’t have a good feeling about it.
