Minpunten

My previous review was totally different, the company has changed. LTS sales in certain regions may struggle in terms of career growth, and you are expected to do much more with limited resource support. LinkedIn is never lacking of talent in sales field because of its strong employer branding. Getting talents is easy for LinkedIn, If you are seeing a job being posted for a while and not filled, it only indicates the position is not urgent, recruiter doing pipeline or hiring manager is fussy. LinkedIn treats sales well with benefits but the growth opportunities are limited. During interviews you will be told stories like internal promotion or so-called "transformation", probably also "young, energetic employees's fast growth". Such chances happening lesser and lesser, although the company is growing quickly, most hiring managers prefer to give opportunity to candidates with more years of work experience or MBAs, rather than providing chance to internals who want to learn and grow. I did not see many promotions and transformations happened - comparing with a few years ago the company is no longer flexible in terms of giving internals opportunities. If you are about to get an offer from LinkedIn as sales, ask recruiter the following questions: - what is my level? (In certain regions, they lower your rank and even you are experienced sales, you may find your level is the same as junior sales in US who only has 3-4 years of working experience) - this impacts your internal opportunity and future growth path. - what is the expected growth for my territory? Besides the effort I am putting to grow revenue, what are the supports coming from LinkedIn to help the territory grow in order to achieve the desired result? - Is my quota or account growth ratio reasonably linked with the market situation? - how many people in my team are making number? - in the past 6-12 months, how many people in this team had been promoted or having a career transformation?

Pluspunten

Amazing perks and nice people. Perks: I was able to purchase new luggage with the help of some internal points for my performance. Unfortunately, I have not traveled since I left the company with the luggage. Travel also changed after I took the job and I was a global traveler.

Minpunten

I ended up quitting my job to look for a new job in 2024. The exit from the company was extremely poorly managed by my manager and the HR staff. I had a very difficult time networking after I left the job which is funny given that it is a social networking platform. I felt like there was still a presence from the company even after joining She Runs It, a third-party networking platform for women. I expected more from LinkedIn during my departure. I was unaware what impact working at this company could have on my career. They should really help their employees with their next role and applying as a lot of the applications occur on the platform. There was only an opportunity to interview and reach out to people that worked for LinkedIn at B2B, even though I have B2C experience. AI has really complicated the process as well with writing etc. since leaving.
