Pros

LinkedIn has a knack for hiring brilliant, motivated and mission-driven people. I've loved the relationships I've built since day 1, and am so grateful for my time in seat. Every decision the leadership team makes considers and reflects LinkedIn's core values, which everyone respects and takes pride in. LinkedIn makes you feel so supported in your endeavors, whether it be starting a side project for your team or employee resource group, or wanting to find a path for yourself outside of sales (e.g. moving over to Customer Success), and the level of training and resources offerred is unparalleled. Sales quotas are quarterly and tough but fair, and though results matter, you're also measured on leadership and leverage (meaning how you take your successes and skills and extend them out to your greater team or org to drive impact). You are not micromanaged on your metrics, hours worked or sales process, and can be very autonomous if you prove your success. With this, finding the right manager and team is essential to your happiness, as teams tend to be close and love to build their own team culture. If you are looking for a great strategic sales role that is focused on the customer and you can be surrounded by talented and kind people and feel rewarded for your work, LinkedIn could be just the place for you!

Cons

There is a degree of nepotism in the hiring process, whether it be internal or external candidates. For externals, LinkedIn loves referrals so if you are applying, it is highly recommend you get referred in! As for the internal hiring process, the best way to get promoted is to spend time getting to know the teams and manager - Without this, it is hard to succeed in getting promoted or hired onto a new team. It helps you find the right team and culture fit which is a plus, but it also can lead to bias, making it harder for a more qualified candidate to get the job at times.
