Pros

- A shared and uncompromising believe to conduct business with integrity and put member's first - Most people are goal oriented and very dedicated to bring LinkedIn mission and vision to life - Great benefits - Management cares about your well being - Best perks in town, but subpar compared with offices in other locations - Despite of acquisitions and multiple reorgs, the culture remains strong - Competitive salary - The overwhelmingly majority of people are friendly, helpful and respectful

Cons

- Talent retention seems an area that is neglected. There is a heavy focus in new talent and the sentiment you need to leave the company and come back in order to be able to grow is increasing - Some organizations and locations are stigmatized which results in less opportunities to grow - While LinkedIn's vision is to create economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce, it hasn't joined the ranks of Facebook and Google by removing college degree requirements for a lot of positions that experience could be a substitute - Some teams are becoming very hierarchical and there are few bad apples who use politics to accomplish personal agendas

Pros

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

Cons

-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.
