LinkedIn reviews

Arrogant staff doesn't even begin to cover the stuck up attitude of the team. They are so busy standing up in meetings to tell the managers how much they love working there, that any constructive criticism is seen as heresy, unappreciated and not reviewed seriously. The staff is not nice in general selfish environment that has snowballed to be that way by the snarky managers. There's a handful of senior level team members that think it's funny to 'haze' new hires by not acknowledging their existence for their first 2 months. They tweet cruel comments about the other staff members. They also tell other team members when individuals are put on performance improvement plans. So these bad apples ruin it for the rest of the team. Many other team members simply aren't interested in getting to know you or anyone else new or not because it doesn't serve their bottom line. For a sales team, it's funny there's no camaraderie or even general warmth. When you have a company that preaches culture, but management participates in no actual way to improve it and the foot soldiers are destroying it, the decay of morale begins. Little to no training; it's sink or swim and they like it that way. So longer term employees have to pitch in and take time out to aid the same questions over and over because newbies get no overviews. In reality, it does not set one up as a new hire nor as a senior member as it's time consuming. It creates a hostile workplace where it's a weakness to ask questions and seek advice on improvement and there's nothing in it for senior team members as its not their job. One would normally direct them to their managers, but that's if you actually get time with your manager. They are usually in meetings or traveling so good luck. Not competitive compensation in comparison to other bay area .coms.

*Very inexperienced front line and middle managers. *Managers sit behind excel and crm spreadsheets vs getting their hands dirty with their reps in the field. *It’s a constant “hammering” on numbers, without any guidance or support in how to get there. *Politics, bureaucracy, and self promotion of your personal brand takes clear precedence over bringing in business and results. *clear “hierarchy” If you are straight out of school, have been at LinkedIn for years, or are older and want to take advantage of their complacency and benefits this job could be for you. If you have experience, and want to grow and make money, I would look elsewhere.
