Inspiring Leadership & Best Culture!

Relationship manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Collaborative culture, anyone and everyone will help you succeed. Excellent training, promotion opportunities and leadership. Fantastic products, excellent pay, benefits and other perks. Very laid back atmosphere where you feel supported, cared about and inspired by all the intelligent and GOOD people at the company. Also nice to play ping pong in the fully stocked lunch room while an exec rides by on a unicycle.

Cons

Very much in start-up mode, must be comfortable with change. Billing and order management departments have many issues which effect the ability to sell effectively, however executive team actively works to improve here.

Great technology, poor culture

Enterprise sales manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Great technology and one that will no doubt continue to have a huge impact in the market now and in the coming years. Free lunches.

Cons

Less than desirable culture in Singapore. Middle management are clueless, very political and offer very little assistance in growth and development. Note to sales people: Don't join LinkedIn Singapore if you want to make some money. No one hits their target. Not because of a lack of talent, but due to unrealistic goals in a ridiculously small assigned territory.
