Great coworkers and perks, but negative vibes persist

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great coworkers, great perks, indays.

Cons

LinkedIn Learning (former org) is clearly not a priority for LinkedIn/Microsoft, and headcount got cut to a third of what it was before. Management still treats everything as mission critical, overall vibes in the org are very negative.
