Pluspunten

I'm writing this 12 months after I left LinkedIn Marketing Solutions as I believe sufficient time has passed to offer unbiased and constructive notes. The perks are good - such as free food, gym, and other fitness classes Opportunity to travel and meet a broad set of smart and nice colleagues Opportunity to grow or expand your skills in adjacent areas of interests Good fun / social events

Minpunten

LinkedIn suffers from what others on Glassdoor have called a 'cult like' belief in its mission to help the world's professionals. This belief is drilled into people from day 1 and any deviation from the script is met with disapproval. Middle Management in the London office is/was poor. I suspect this may be down to the legacy of the old guard who have very generous share options and as a result don't want to rock the boat. In LinkedIn Marketing Solutions - the sales team are king. If you are not in the sales team, you are there to service the sales team. This as you can imagine leads to a lot of resentment. Not short of ego at the best of time the behaviour of some of the sales team can be insufferable especially if you challenge their thinking on a client.

Pluspunten

-Control your schedule -Office environment is great -Teammates are nice and helpful

Minpunten

-Customer Success metrics lack clear ownership and actionable levers. Many CSMs do not have direct control over the outcomes they are measured against, and success narratives are often based on isolated or non-replicable examples rather than scalable processes. -Microsoft’s increased influence over LinkedIn has led to tighter promotion structures and more limited compensation growth pathways. -Product value within the LTS portfolio is inconsistent. LinkedIn Learning struggles with perceived differentiation and impact, while Recruiter’s market position relies heavily on legacy dominance rather than clear ongoing innovation or customer value expansion. -Metric design and performance management frameworks were created without a strong operational understanding of the CSM role, resulting in accountability for outcomes that CSMs cannot directly influence. -While many CSMs share these concerns, there is limited upward feedback or structured challenge to leadership regarding metric design and role effectiveness, which limits opportunities for meaningful reform. They prefer to lick the boots of senior leaders rather than tell AV and his team how they actually feel and see progress to better, more impactful metrics. For individuals who are comfortable with high call volumes (10+ customer interactions per week) and performance metrics that are influenced significantly by external factors rather than direct role ownership, LinkedIn LTS Customer Success can be a suitable environment.
