LinkedIn reviews

No bonuses for the internal team Working overtime during monthly and yearly close sometimes even 10+ hours in a day Promotion based more on filling the place of the person higher up who left than on performance. Sometimes people promoted 6-8 months back got promoted again. Salary is low for the current market and the yearly increase is almost nothing Too much difference in knowledge and communication between the teams - some teams help each other while in others people are struggling. The analysts in the on-site projects are treating the ones in the Prague office more like "helpers" than like equal colleagues not sharing all the insight on the project and not inviting them in all the calls. Overall it's a good start for a graduate - you have the possibility to earn quite a few things, not only process related but also how to manage time, however not recommended to stay more than one year as nobody is appreciating the commitment.

Managers are very good at lying. Whereas Uber's negatives can be easily seen at its surface, LinkedIn's management are masters at underhanded tactics, and at crafting a positive facade on the outside. I think the key considerations for managers are plausible deniability and what they can get away with. Highly political and high stress level, both of which create an unhealthy work environment with lots of finger-pointing that are often accompanied by lies and distortions. The senior management, especially Jeff Weiner, have little idea of what is possible and reasonable, so their management technique is to squeeze the employees until the people or the software etc break. This is the reason for the above average compensation, because many people would otherwise escape as soon as they can. Extremely hierarchical company, with little respect for rank-and-file employees. Managers are unjustifiably assumed to know better, and obedience is expected. There are a few teams with good managers that shield the engineers, but what I describe is the general culture. Instead of rational and thoughtful discussions, throughout the company one often hears the conversation-stopping reason: "this is what Jeff wants".
