What kind of people succeed at LinkedIn?
drink the kool-aide and sell aggressively. The products are great and they do work, but customers need to be pushed constantly.
How's the feedback proccess at LinkedIn?
quarterly. It's basically is a "did you hit your number or not" conversation although the company says that half the weight is on other results. For performers who had consistently hit their numbers in prior quarters, they would still be put on "plans" randomly and there were no set rules around performance.
What are the team outings like at LinkedIn?
fun, and well-funded.
How difficult is it to maintain a social life while in your job at LinkedIn?
extremely difficult in a high level sales role. In a non-sales role I'd say it's totally doable.
How's the morale at LinkedIn?
not good since Microsoft came in. LinkedIn has been in the red for a long time, so quotas have been elevated in order to chase the company-wide goal. Most of my friends would work there for 1-2 years and then try to transfer out to another department or another company because the stress became too much to handle.
How much diversity is there among employees at LinkedIn?
a ton. lots of ERG's
What's the office layout like at LinkedIn?
very much like a start up.
What unique perks and benefits does LinkedIn provide?
great food every day, gym, etc. Similar to Google
What's one thing you wish you'd known before joining LinkedIn?
how much the customers are angry with LinkedIn for annual price increases and "repackaging" the same exact products into new names / calling them something completely different when the functionality / benefits have not changed at all. I wish I also would have know how many managers have not been promoted from within - since I'm used to being able to go to management to ask questions about how to do the job and unfortunately my entire team of 15 was unable to do this with my manager. Same situation occurred with two other teams on my same floor.
What's the pay like for Sales roles at LinkedIn?
good pay but extremely high expectations and quotas.
What's the Sales team like at LinkedIn?
great - awesome people all around.
How's the leadership on the Sales team at LinkedIn?
Usually from other companies and recruited into a management role, so most know very little about the product features. However, they do come with the proper sales management acumen to help guide larger deals along. Mentorship / guidance on "how to" perform certain functions in the job are usually found with peers and not management since they typically have no background on products / actually selling them.
What's the vibe like in the Sales dept at LinkedIn? How many hours are you working?
Most of the managers have been recruiter from OUTSIDE of LinkedIn which makes it very difficult to gain insight / mentorship. Mentorship is most often acquired through more senior reps, but you must be aggressive to seek it out since they have no real incentive to help you. Great company and great perks, but quotas are unrealistic due to LinkedIn missing their quarterly targets over the past years. Sales executives tend to do much better because they have smaller quotas but Relationship Managers have a very high turnover rate since LinkedIn expects them to aggressively grow accounts YOY.
What part of LinkedIn's business is growing fastest? What part is having difficulties?
all is rolling fast never thought of it being this fast around the world
