Cons Linkedin is a bit expensive as well as I think the user interface should be improved. It seems like there is no good use of CSS as a result the whole website looks random.

Pros Because it has been on the market for some time, this platform has a large number of users. Large companies use this platform to recruit employees. It's a great tool to find companies that are hiring Cons Its interface is totally outdated. As it is a tool to find work, this platform should be constantly updated to adapt to new trends in design and functionality. I personally think it's a bit confusing platform that doesn't have UX or UI Design as a priority and without a doubt they should invest more to improve that. This platform is completely frozen in time compared to other social networks. Review Source DRS Daniel R. S.

I get pretty much all of my business leads using LinkedIN. I have used the premium and sales navigator but I use the organic approach by sending messages and connecting with potential clients Cons I don't like how you have to purchase sales navigator to see a broad range of business leads, when you don't use sales navigator they limit your reach of clients and one time they locked me out of my account because I was sending messages and connections at a fast pace and they accused me of using both software which wasn't true at all Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Solutions Engineer Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Microsoft's missing Link in social " August 13, 2025 4.0 Pros I enjoy being able to connect globally and learn crom so many different businesses and walks of life.

Now I'm seeing a lot of content that belongs on lower class social media platforms and lots of bot engagements with Ai written dribble. Review Source JK James K.

Business Development Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Linkedin For Business: A must have tool" September 29, 2022 5.0 Keeping a track of anything and everything has become easier, now I know which organizations haven't been reached out and also helps me to track all the big movements across various sectors in the industry so as to know the right time every single time to reach out to them. Database management is amazing and the trackers are really helpful. Overall, LinkedIn for Business is a great tool and actually worth the money if you want to make your life easier. Pros I really like the activity dashboard which helps you to keep track of anything and everything that is happening across the portal helping you to find better prospects, reaching out to them in numerable ways and increase the overall conversion rate as well Cons The notifications can sometimes be delayed and it is annoying as you have to remain up to date with each and every prospect to track all the follow ups to further have better conversion rates Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Linkedin to everyone" March 26, 2018 4.0 Pros Linkedin is a professional career website, it allows users to create social and business connections amongst friends, family, colleagues and business acquaintances. If your pursuing a business adventure having Linkedin is a added bonus, you can build your network of friends and see which friends have careers in desired fields in which you seek to start or grow your business in. You can get advice and directions from connections. You can also see connections, connections and go from there.

It is a great way to share your personal resume with employers by sending them to your personal linkedin page via a link that linkedin provides you at no cost. you can login with other social sites such as GetApp to write reviews. Linkedin is the number one professional site amongst professionals.

Business Process Optimization Engineer Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent professional networking application to bring talent and opportunity together!" November 8, 2020 4.0 My overall experience with LinkedIn has been great over the years. It has helped me meet some of the best people I have ever met over the course of my education and employment journey. It has allowed me to learn so much simply from following other people and how they approach certain things and I've been able to incorporate some of it with my own personal and professional lives. The learning is endless and it is a wealth of knowledge out there. Pros The thing I like most about this software is how they have evolved over the years. I have been a long time user of LinkedIn and it has been fantastic to see how they have adapted to the modern needs of the world over the years. It is more than just professional networking now. Their career tool is fantastic. I have been on both ends as a job seeker myself and also a recruiter and the user experience is very consistent and great in both roles. As a job seeker, I loved taking advantage of LinkedIn Premium to make sure my profile was at the top of the list for the recruiter to give myself a better chance. It has been great to build my profile over time and cleanly present my educational and employment history as part of my portfolio. The addition of skills and certifications that I possess along with references and recommendations from my co-workers and colleagues has boosted my profile a lot as well. Cons Sometimes it can be overwhelming. You are constantly under the pressure of keeping your profile up-to-date and most of that work seems to be manual and time consuming in many ways. This means that LinkedIn is still not a global solution and lacks integrations with other applications that provide verified and validated credentials which I'm not able to add to my profile at just the click of a button. As a recruiter, I also get an overwhelming number of private messages and profiles for an opportunity that I have posted. It doesn't really find the best match which means I have to dig through a lot of profiles to find someone that fits my needs. LinkedIn Learning is good but not great. The subscription based model is alright but the skills taught in them seems to be a bit outdated so they have to update their content and learning resources. Review Source Samuel O.

Pros What attracts me most about this platform is being able to be close to my corporate community and interact with them, getting to know profiles from the same segment as mine or different ones. Cons One of the disadvantages of the platform that affects me a lot is the job search issue. The search tool needs to be improved as it is not accurate in its function. Review Source RK Raj K. DGM Marketing Mining & Metals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Professional Networking Platform to Catapult your career" August 14, 2021 5.0 It is the best networking tool for professionals globally. Linkedin for business helps seasoned professionals, beginners, students, self-employed, freelancers, or just about anyone in showcasing their profiles to the entire world. The profile builder is so powerful and versatile that you can efficiently share yourself to help you in your career.

There is a whole lot of customization available to mold the platform to your unique needs. Linkedin Learning has a particular focus on education. Similar work-related products exist on the site to help you professionally. Overall, there are endless possibilities to capitalize on this beautiful networking tool. Cons Recent changes have made this professional networking site turn into a usual social media page. Some users may dislike those irritating features on it, such as likes, comments, etc. Linkedin has diluted its identity by following the footsteps of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Secondly, there are many features available only on the paid platform. Subscription plans may be a bit expensive for a large majority of users. Finally, there are many fake profiles on LinkedIn, which makes your extensive network meaningless to some extent. Finally, it does not have an obituary, so perhaps you may find yourself approaching a dead man to pitch for yourself!
