Pros
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
Kontras
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.
