Awesome
July 28, 2022

Currently I have more than 500 connection on LinkedIn, with the help of LinkedIn connections, I am able to find people those who have new opportunities for me. Services of LinkedIn are awesome, follow those you like. LinkedIn is very user friendly and easy to use, services like endorsement is really useful, sending invites is very important to create new connections. LinkedIn is very optimized it's loading time is very less or its depends on internet connection speed. Chat service of LinkedIn is nice, so you can chat with your connections and get new opportunities in your carrier. Linked support is great, they reply very quickly.

Garbage Website!
July 7, 2022

They are now worse than Facebook for censoring people. You get banned for nothing at all, if it annoys the moronic moderators who seem to be deficient of actual education. There is no point to LinkedIn, since all of the jobs advertised are Entry Level, and the employers ghost the applicants. Close down your account with them. Just walk away!

Job search
June 21, 2022

Really pathetic and useless for searching a job on LinkedIn, so far have applied for many jobs but till date not even a single response have been received from any employer, even the profile has match with the posted vacancy. Don't even deserve a single star.

While LinkedIn started as a good idea, it's not really a good place to connect because people try to add quantity instead of substance of connections. I get far too many connection requests from people who work for companies I have never worked for or are just not in my state. I would prefer to connect with people who are close to or in my home town for job prospects and as a sort of reference list.

So how has it become to be true that you MUST have a professional profile on linkedin in order to get a job today? How did this happen? Are they in cahoots with companies? Recruiters? They don't provide any value or service to me at all, in fact they cause me more harm than good. But I have to have a profile just because you have to or you don't exist. Not only do I have to have a profile but when you list your experience and your education you MUST select dates! Of course I could just lie, which I think I will now and I'm sure a lot of people do too. I feel there's a lot of "puffery" on profiles. This makes it easy to discriminate based on older aged workers. It's like a dating site for business and I would bet money that some people are rejected for jobs based on their profile pictures for one reason or another.
Linkedin uses our info for free and sells their data mining services ( platform profiles) to companies/individuals for lead generation. Linkedin is JUST ANOTHER SOCIAL PLATFORM SELLING OUR DATA FOR PROFITS.
I can see how it's helpful for some members on Linkedin and perhaps they get a lot of value from it but this platform could be so more than it is. How about distributing all the profits they make from our info to all the members.

Most useful
May 18, 2022

It has a nice interface with the news feeds on top and all the tabs at the bottom. It also allows you to message people if you wish to communicate with them. One more important feature is you can follow recruiters and keep a track of their activities and keep yourself updated. Overall a super platform for job seekers and recruiters.

I am about to sue LinkedIn. I have apparently violated LinkedIn policies because I called someone an idiot because he claimed that the Ukrainian war is because of narcissi clown Volodymyr Zelensky. I told him that he has absolutely no clue about Ukraine and their people, and he is an idiot claiming something like that. I got locked out of LinkedIn and now they don't even allow me to delete my account and all my data. The just keep telling me that I have violated their policies. I know that, but the way they are handling this issue is exactly why I don't want to hear about LinkedIn anymore and want all y data to be deleted and my account closed. They just simply ignore all my requests. This is a violation of my rights on a big scale!
I never benefited from LinkedIn ever at all, it's a total waste of time. This people are more saint than pope himself, at least they think they are, but they are nothing but government and Microsoft puppies
You can't imagine how vicious they can be!

Be aware! You can't speak to no one! There's No Phone Number on LinkedIn website. They will screw you!
When I posted a job on Linkedin was because it said it was FREE, I didn't know you guys were going to charge my card with 3 payments in less than 2 months for a total of 1,276.70 without authorizing it. The worst part is that I only got 4 resumes from your website after posting a Job... I want my money back, this is crazy I'm just a small company.
Out of the 27 applicants only 4 of them were in the McKinney area and only had one interview, the rest were in the Dallas area, that's 45 minutes to an hour away from where my company is located. This is ridiculous and so upsetting to me, it makes me sick to my stomach that I waisted $1200 on nothing.

Worst Support or Should I say No Support
May 5, 2022

Linkedin may be the worst social site around. Why you might ask would I say this? Let's look at what I see since they were acquired by Microsoft Corp., a company with poorly made products and terrible technology.

They are cheap and get infected constantly. They have the worst support of any company online today, and most people don't use their programming language anymore, with only 7.7% of sites using it. Finally, most people prefer stability, and Microsoft Corp. is far from that.

So they purchased LinkedIn, and things started breaking that shouldn't. Our posts have disappeared, yet our competitors are still working as a developer; that shouldn't be the case as these are all controllers. I'm guessing the people at Microsoft don't understand PHP. They charge a ridiculously high fee for the premium account and yet give you nothing for it.

Their adverting costs are three to four times that of Facebook, and they are ten times smaller than Facebook. They think they are worth it, but I tried to advertise, and for $500, I received nothing. I ran an ad on Facebook and received a 7 percent response.

Everything about Linkedin is terrible. It is just another Facebook app. What once was a professional site has turned into how many likes or comments I can get. Microsft has destroyed this company in a short time, just like everything else they touch. Like their founder, they are brain dead and haven't a clue. Yeah, they believe that he is brilliant because Bill Gates invented this MANY years ago. No, it means he did it first, and now they are dead last with everything today.

Scam Artist City
May 3, 2022

I was scammed seeking employment from 2 seperate people. They were both not even located in the United States they both used false titles and companies that went under or no longer exist. They want you to communicate via What's App and when reported to LinkedIn I was told they didn't find any issue with one person's false post for jib applicants.
I don't recommend LinkedIn unless you want to play games for a company or individual that doesn't exist.

I've had an account with LinkedIn for years including a recruiter-lite paid account. Until recently, I found their site to be a useful tool allowing me to connect with other professionals. My account recently got locked for some, unknown reason. Their reset process requires you to upload a picture ID of yourself to prove it is you. I have done this now multiple times. Each time, the response is someone will get back to me. It has been several weeks now and nothing. No reply other than an auto-response stating they got the upload. Why are they the worst online company? Simple, they offer no way to contact anyone there if you have a problem. No support email, no phone number and what is most laughable of all, the support they do offer requires you to be logged in to access! Are you kidding me? Did no one at LinkedIn ever consider the support issue being "Can Not Log In"? Until they are willing to offer support that can be directly contacted, they will remain the worst online company of our times. Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter, Indeed ALL provide multiple ways to contact them if you have issues logging in. Something so simple yet beyond LinkedIn's comprehension. I am the CEO of the company I work for and usually try to stay positive, even when dealing with a negative situation however this experience is the number one customer service failure I work hard with my people to avoid our customers from every having.

Unauthorised Job Ad's
April 29, 2022

Three times now I have experienced jobs posted on LinkedIn that the original recruitment company had no idea were on there. Turns out Linkedin have been scrapping data from other recruitment sites & posting that data/positions on their platform. One of the positions they advertised (illegally) took 30 minutes for me to complete the application. A complete waste of my time as the position was never available, so I found out. It had been filled 6 months prior to me applying! Highly unethical & shameful Linkedin!

Overall Linkedin is a decent site to build your career. However, from my minimal experience on the site, it's not good for connecting with people. I usually got connection requests from people who are unrelated to my line of work. They need to do better work on their algorithms.

I've recently started using LinkedIn, as I will soon be graduating into a "real" profession! I really enjoy the professional development courses that LinkedIn offers with their premium subscription. I'm very, very busy with graduation preparations and final assignments and forgot to cancel my free trial. As a full-time student with no real income, I can't afford the price tag right now. So, naturally, I panicked when my credit card was charged the full subscription price. The charge date had snuck up on me. I immediately canceled my subscription (not that it did any good now, ha), and messaged the customer support team on Twitter. I explained my situation and left my email address that's connected to my LinkedIn account. The next morning, I got a notification (this was maybe 12 hours later) that my charge had been refunded, no questions asked. One less stress for me to deal with! A heartfelt thank-you to "KW" for helping me out so quickly and efficiently. Your hard work has not gone unappreciated.
