Pros

Benefits, strong products, great internal tool for creating presentation slides, strong first line leaders

Cons

Do you like selling? LinkedIn would rather you spend 90% of your time fighting internally to get order forms created than hustling to create new pipeline. Do you like tickets? You’ll be creating and responding to tickets from 9am to 8pm each and every day. The process is out of control. It’s is incomprehensible how hard it is to get pricing and a final order form. Something that should take 15 mins takes 3-7 days because rep autonomy & access has been taken away. There has been so much change that it’s causing mental health issues for the majority in Enterprise Sales. Executive leadership clearly thinks our products sell themselves. We’ve moved our post sale customer support model to self serve. This puts insane pressure on the AD’s to find ways to help our customers, yet we don’t have full access to their accounts. I cannot recommend making a career change into LinkedIn sales with so many issues standing in the way of helping your would be customers.

Pros

LinkedIn has a strong engineering culture, smart and supportive teammates, and meaningful product impact at a large scale. I have had opportunities to work on complex systems, collaborate with experienced engineers, and learn from cross-functional partners across product, design, data, and infrastructure. The benefits, flexibility, and internal learning resources are also strong.

Cons

Because the organization is large, decision-making can sometimes be slow, and priorities may shift before projects fully mature. Promotion expectations can feel different across teams, and the number of meetings can make it harder to protect deep-focus engineering time. Cross-team ownership is not always as clear as it could be.
