LinkedIn reviews

Engineering bar is pretty low. Company has a really bad developer experience. You spend most your time trying to figure out issues around tools, wait ridiculous times to build your code, with some teams you wait forever to get your code reviewed. It's 2021 and this company is just switching to git. Gives an idea. Career track: super slow unless you have a manager that will fight for you. Most staff engineers are bad engineers, they will never find jobs outside or never find a staff role. However inside linkedin it will take forever to get to staff. Refreshers: The worst. And I say that one more time, the worst refreshers ever. Your manager will give you a 100k refresher that will vest in 4 years for killing it at work and tell you "nobody ever received this much". Don't believe the HR when joining, they are not telling the truth.

What's cool about BLP is that you have an opportunity to choose 1 of 4 pathways (SaaS Sales, Media Sales, Sales Analytics, Non-Quota). While you don't have full control over which path you pursue due to business needs, you certainly have the capacity to make your luck happen by demonstrating your interest in a specific pathway. That said, the one downside to BLP is that you don't necessarily get job exposure to these pathways prior to choosing. Instead, everyone goes through customer operations (which has been beyond fruitful to learning the products) before selecting their path. While there are plenty of guest speakers from different parts of the business and opportunities to learn what a day-in-the-life is like, it would be SUPER cool to actually have exposure to these pathways as part of rotations to just get a taste of what something like, say, analytics would be.
