LinkedIn reviews

1) There is a failure to foster and grow talent, leading to high churn and dissatisfaction among tenured employees. I've been here for 3+ years and have been vocal in my desire to expand my role and grow my career. We lack the internal structure to support employees like me who want to stay at the company but need guidance on where opportunities may lie. So people either get frustrated and leave or simply stay to fulfill their vesting period and get increasingly disgruntled in the process. 2) Inconsistent culture and work/life balance: I have only experienced the Marketing team where employees struggle with being overworked and unable to enjoy the "fun" aspects of working at LinkedIn. Other teams like engineering and product appear to be the opposite.

Highly political environment. Some of the most intelligent and committed employees have been shown the door because they didn't play the game right. Executive & managerial teams have some true stars, but also some total duds. A lot of the folks who have been there for a long time have grown cynical and are to be found whispering among themselves outside the building, "vesting in peace". The engineering team are rock stars, but are floundering amid a lack of process, cohesive vision, sensible product management cycles, and tools to make their work efficient.
