Contractors, do not apply. - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij LinkedIn

If you're a contractor, you're screwed. Big companies like LinkedIn, Google, and Facebook hire contractors to do the grunt work and they're basically considered as the working class of the company. Most contractors work hard to become permanent meanwhile most full-time employees don't do much just to fly under the radar. Sad to say at LinkedIn that is exactly what happens if you're a contractor. There are no promises to extend or convert unless you kiss up to the right people. It's all politics at LinkedIn and you will work on a project that goes into a black hole or never become anything. Full-time employees are encouraged to expand their horizon, present their ideas, and do whatever their heart desires but only to be shut down by budget cuts. It is not all rainbows and butterflies at LinkedIn, most people stay because of the perks but in the end working day in and out for free ice cream? definitely not worth it. If you're thinking about doing temporarily work in hopes of becoming permanent, don't go to LinkedIn. You have a better shot at Facebook at least the managers are more experienced.
