LinkedIn - The best company i have worked for

Account executive

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Inspiring, transformation, support is at hand, talented people, encouraged to run with your ideas. We offer something unique that is very valuable, and it's a cool well known brand too! I've been at LinkedIn for over 3 years now and during that time, we moved from several office bases to accommodate our growth, and we're now at our shiny new set up in the West end that we are all proud of and enjoy working within (Free, food and beverages, gym, health classes, great facilities, events, "InDay" every month which is a chance for us to take time out to work on an individual or group project that is of interest to us, along with great people to work with). Plenty of opportunities are available locally and internationally, and this will only increase in the future.
