Business Outlook

Pros

Nice office environment Decent pay + MSFT Stock + benefits

Cons

Your experience at LinkedIn will be dictated by your org and team environment. Your job satisfaction will depend on your manager. There is little chance of meaningful progression. You will need to move to another role internally (hard to do because lots of others want to do the same), or leave to find growth elsewhere. Slow migrating to new systems e.g. SFDC to Dynamics taking years, bad implementation of Gainsight, and a plethora of ad-hoc dashboards to navigate. Lots of time spent on operational admin. Constant threat of layoffs or receiving a low review leading to a PiP (or Return to Success plan in LinkedIn speak). You will be made to feel very replaceable here.
