Used to be an amazing company, not anymore

Staff software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice people and teammates all around

Cons

I've been at LinkedIn for a long time. We used to have one of the best cultures at LinkedIn but not anymore. Culture has gone downhill and leadership is clueless. Recently the company is all about forced PIPs, lost perks, meaningless AI projects and workload all of a sudden

Overall amazing

Enterprise account director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

salary, hybrid work, food in the office, great benefit (company paid for the employee), 50% 401k match, MSFT stock, ESPP, $2000 a year to spend on wellness, $3500 a year for student loan reimbursement

Cons

mulitple layoffs over the past few years have impacted morale, some perks cut or changed, aggressive quotas, erring towards micromanagement in sales in terms of logging activity, # of calls, etc. This is regularly looked at at a leadership level, and even if you are performing well, it will be brought up to you. raises non-existent to very minimal

Toxic Team Culture but the overall organization is great

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent benefits, good overall culture

Cons

The Global Strategic Accounts team in Marketing Solutions is one of the most toxic cultures I have seen in my professional career. There is no room for neurodiversity or challenging status quo.
