Pros

Base pay is good. Benefits are great. New products and product enhancements are solid.

Cons

-There are no stock refreshers without a promotion and promotions are few and far between. You need to hit your number and because Sales Finance is horrible at setting targets you need a miracle. -Commission structure has become an absolute joke. You get paid 40% of your commission for hitting 80%. Then 80-100% is 3x multiplier to get you to that full 100%. The really egregious part though is the targets and the lack of consistency in how they are given out. One half you can hit 120%, and the next you can hit 50%. Sales Finance is laughable at setting goals and truly worst in class. -Management creates performative non-material work for you to validate their jobs. -Career opportunities are non-existent. Mobility is non-existent. If you want to try and move upward or to another team, it's held against you. Your manager layers in more quota for you to save the numbers for the other team members who will stay.

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.
