Pros

Where do I start. Amazing benefits and perks. On-site restaurant that sometimes serves Michelin star type of meals. Collaborative, fun working environment.

Cons

LinkedIn has an amazing Diversity program called DIBs(Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging), but still has a lot of work to do in terms of having a truly diverse employee base. They need to hire more tenured folks in addition to folks with diverse backgrounds. Work life balance also needs to be encouraged broadly and not just implemented by some managers.

Avoid Inbound Sales Development in San Francisco

Pros

- Great culture. - Best benefits. - A lot of celebration/fun. - Great company to join when you're young and new to the Bay Area.

Cons

Horrible management in sales development. You're being managed by people who have little to zero sales experience. The managers instigate politicking within the office, and often don't know how to help you when you need assistance. Most sales managers should at least know the value proposition of the products you're selling. These managers don't, and they focus all their time on finding their own 'next play'. A lot of great talent is also leaving the company because of limited mobility. Don't expect to get promoted quickly if you're beginning a sales career at LinkedIn. It's a big organization now, so you'll have to wait your turn and compete with 20+ SD reps for 1 AE/RM role.

My Experience at LinkedIn

Pros

LinkedIn has great benefits including free meals, snacks/drinks, commuter shuttles and unlimited vacation. There are opportunities for growth and the environment is very dynamic, so there a no shortages of interesting challenges. Most of my interactions with other team members were very positive.

Cons

After being acquired by Microsoft, most all communication and some productivity tools were replaced with Microsoft-based solutions that are less useful and less reliable than previous tools. Issues/concerns taken to management aren't taken seriously unless the resignation card is played. Team management kept too busy with other responsibilities for a reliable 1:1 meeting schedule. Promotion process is too similar to a popularity contest. Team/management structure setup in an odd way that lead to stress and confusion.
