Pros

- Explosive growth means you can have full ownership over your work and career. You can own as much as you ask for - Extremely collegial atmosphere where everyone shares common goals and works together regardless of title or function - Opportunities to work on projects outside of your business unit/function - "Hack Day" judged by senior leadership and is a great way to have your ideas heard and work with people outside of your business unit - Completely open and honest leadership. VERY few surprises. - Very energetic and friendly employees at all levels. - Ridiculous perks (free catered gourmet lunch, kitchen on every floor is like a free 7-11, free Caltrain passes, free SF shuttle, onsite dry cleaning, haircuts, car detailing, minor car maintenance, massages, redbull fridges all over!) - Extremely competitive benefits package

Cons

- Explosive growth means office is short on space. Plans are in place to fix this but campus might be split up until a permanent home is found :( - Massive hiring leads to a somewhat rushed onboarding experience. Few "official" social events to acclimate new hires but that changes once you get to know people in the office

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.
