Pros

Perks, perks, perks (meals, snacks, In-day events) Great facility 60% of the company is friendly Great products, easy to stand behind the products

Cons

My direct manager was horrible! Politics, politics, politics! There are some terrible managers who play "favorites" and are never accessible. 40% of the company is not friendly (typically the management level)

Pros

-From the outside looking in, one of the most innovative, forward thinking companies in the valley. -Tech darling of wall street -Solid, visionary exec leadership who seem genuine, believable & competant -Transparency at the top -Free food and good perks

Cons

-Mid/lower management, (especially int he sales org) can be a BIG miss. -There are a few good sales managers but by and large, incompetency reigns supreme at this level. They have a sales manager with literally 2 years of sales experience, "trying" to lead tenured reps who've carried a bag for a decade. The result? Downfall of many reps due to "cultural clashes" -Post first week training, on boarding is nearly non-existent. Very cliquish and overall sense of negativity on the floor. -Little to no career development unless you're in the 23 year old crowd. -One of the most political environments I've encountered in my career

Pros

The offices are beautiful. Food is delicious. Benefits are impressive.

Cons

Management is clueless. They act as if they know what they are doing but only do what Microsoft directs them to do. The mission around equality and diversity and inclusion is a farce. The toxic positivity is disturbing. Linkedin laid off 65% of the recruiting organization in one day. During the 15 minute meeting when the recruiters were notified the badges of employees were deactivated. They had to be escorted around campus with security. No Directors or Senior Directors in recruiting were impacted by the layoffs. I would never trust the leaders of Linkedin.
