The title really says it all. This is a boys club and it's easy to tell when you look at senior leadership. What once used to be a start-up, fast and nimble work place has become a political, lumbering corporate machine that's lost it's way. Starting with old products that fail to evolve to the ridiculous quotas that don't make sense, LinkedIn is on the decline. If you weren't one of the fortunate ones to get options pre-ipo and make your millions to then be jet set around the country to build 'collective tissue' then be prepared for the corporate ringer and to work your way up the ladder tier by tier. (unless of course you went to school with one of the sr leaders and they're hiring you). Coming on board as a Relationship Manager? Good luck! Quotas are hilariously high but the mission has been accomplished! Saturate the market, push out the talented hunters and keep those who are content enough to move to the Relationship Management side until they realize they're way more valuable when they leave and can spread their wings. Wouldn't be a fair review without mentioning middle management. They're a joke. Just look at their profiles and see how many people are in roles they are far from qualified for. And with new layers of sales being created every year, the bar continues to be lowered! There are literally, 5-6 layers of managers until you get to a director level. I'm not exactly sure how many layers there are anymore but it's a ton.
