Svantaggi
My previous review was totally different, the company has changed. LTS sales in certain regions may struggle in terms of career growth, and you are expected to do much more with limited resource support. LinkedIn is never lacking of talent in sales field because of its strong employer branding. Getting talents is easy for LinkedIn, If you are seeing a job being posted for a while and not filled, it only indicates the position is not urgent, recruiter doing pipeline or hiring manager is fussy. LinkedIn treats sales well with benefits but the growth opportunities are limited. During interviews you will be told stories like internal promotion or so-called "transformation", probably also "young, energetic employees's fast growth". Such chances happening lesser and lesser, although the company is growing quickly, most hiring managers prefer to give opportunity to candidates with more years of work experience or MBAs, rather than providing chance to internals who want to learn and grow. I did not see many promotions and transformations happened - comparing with a few years ago the company is no longer flexible in terms of giving internals opportunities. If you are about to get an offer from LinkedIn as sales, ask recruiter the following questions: - what is my level? (In certain regions, they lower your rank and even you are experienced sales, you may find your level is the same as junior sales in US who only has 3-4 years of working experience) - this impacts your internal opportunity and future growth path. - what is the expected growth for my territory? Besides the effort I am putting to grow revenue, what are the supports coming from LinkedIn to help the territory grow in order to achieve the desired result? - Is my quota or account growth ratio reasonably linked with the market situation? - how many people in my team are making number? - in the past 6-12 months, how many people in this team had been promoted or having a career transformation?
