Pros

- Caring and compassionate coworkers - Fantastic benefits - Competitive pay The people here still make this place a great place to work. You feel like you’re talking with genuinely empathetic and kind individuals who care about your well-being. Benefits are still absolutely fantastic, and while pay is lagging, it’s still very competitive.

Cons

The glory days pre-COVID have eroded, really ever since the new CEO came on board. Immediately experienced our first set of layoffs in August of 2020, and while that was communicated as a very painful but necessary step, the company has since become addicted to them, with two large layoffs in 2023 and many more small shuttering of teams. This results in a workforce constantly afraid of being next on the chopping block. The work grind is also very real, with constant changes in focus and pressure placed on sales and other functions to never miss goals or face a PIP. Very much a “what will you do for me next” culture rather than taking in the achievements made by incredible talent. ERGs used to be a core focus of the company, but now feel like an afterthought.

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.
