Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • In our company, most of our employees and executives use LinkedIn as a professional platform to connect with other professionals, from other companies or from their own company. Below, I will highlight some positive things that I have noticed about this professional social network: I liked the way LinkedIn provides me with a company section on the platform, since this section allows me to properly manage the employees who are registered as employees in my company within LinkedIn. In addition, LinkedIn allows me to manage new posts within the company profile. On this platform, I can create new posts, interact with clients who comment on our posts, and much more. In addition, LinkedIn has allowed me to have a space where all clients can find me as a company. By simply entering the name of my company within LinkedIn, they will be able to see all the details of the company, the location, and the current employees. I also like the way LinkedIn gives me the way to interact with other professionals directly, either by accessing the InMail system or connecting with new professionals through my Network. The connections service works wonderfully, it gives me direct suggestions of people who are associated with or very close to my job or my business sector, this helps me connect with more professionals who are close to my field of work. Another feature that I like about LinkedIn is direct messaging, the messaging system works perfectly, it allows me to send all kinds of documents, files, images or a text message. This messaging service allows me to have several conversations open at the same time, so I can talk to several professionals simultaneously. LinkedIn also allows me to see analytics and the reach that my posts have within my Feed, this way I can know what type of audience each of my posts reaches and we can modify our content depending on the analytics.
  • The LinkedIn social network is impressive for anyone who wants to position themselves within any type of industry, mainly because being social allows you to connect with various employees or people who are close to your job and your company, as well as the sector. where do you work. What I like the most is this platform that allows you to make unlimited connections with any type of person, you can use the search engine of this social network and get the profile of any person around the world, you can send a request to connect a conversation with that person in a matter of minutes. In addition, with the help of LinkedIn you can create a professional profile and it will allow you to get better job offers and also better opportunities in the labor sector, you can create a completely complete profile, where you can insert all the previous experiences you have had since you started working , as well as you can register all the studies you have had throughout your life, you can also register various courses or skills that you have as a person, I really love being able to create such a complete profile. In addition, the Chat system works in real time, which greatly favors when communicating with your colleagues or with specific people, you can send and receive messages fluidly, the Chat system allows you to store the number of messages that you you want, you can talk to several people at the same time.
  • + It is very complete for the creation of a professional profile, it is not only used to create a kind of resume that looks like a social network, but it is also used to post jobs and create a business profile. Regarding personal profiles, it has an endless number of tools to use that allow you to add in detail each experience obtained, so many courses, volunteering, add certificates and much more. + The profile validation system is the best thing that this platform has, it allows me to have a better idea about the candidate to understand what their true strengths are through those commented by previous employers. The best thing about this feature is that it shows when that comment or skill validation has been made, it gives me an idea if your experience is a long time ago. I like the way LinkedIn created this tool for both employer and employee endorsements. + Instant messages are very simple but complete in order to carry out a clear conversation between employee and employer. I see it as one more complement to maintain communication, however, it is more efficient than using email since you can chat instantly without so many setbacks. Also in the event that the person is not connected, they will receive an email about the pending messages they have in their inbox, so the lack of communication is what they do not have since they have the tool for effective communication instantly. + What every social network should have is who reviewed a profile and this platform has it, it is also very useful for people who are looking for a job and thus know who has been interested in their professional profile and how many of those visits to their profile they have obtained job offers. It is simply useful since it allows you to measure the impact of a LinkedIn profile by allowing the user to improve their profile through the impact caused by their career path and how much experience counts. + A number of courses are available which can be taken in order to obtain skills and in turn be able to validate the skills that you currently have within your profile. This has been very useful to me and to several workers and co-workers since it has allowed us to modernize certain areas of the work that had a little rusty over time since everything has changed very quickly.
  • LinkedIn is a social network that has become a primary mechanism so that everyone in this company can interact and share all kinds of opinions and ideas with different companies or people close to our business environment, LinkedIn is being used by more than 1,000 employees in The entire real estate company, I really love the fact that the vast majority of employees have chosen to use this social network to interact with other colleagues in the company. Next, we will mention positive characteristics that this social network has: - The main positive point of this social network is that it allows you to share all kinds of posts, react to posts, make comments, attach images or Videos to each comment and also allows you to insert various Gifs in posts or comments. I really love the post creation modality, this platform has very professional tools to create a quite optimal post, you can add various text fonts to each post, also, you can add various emojis to the post and you can also insert various images I really love being able to create a fairly complete publication thanks to the creation tools that this social network offers me. - The second positive thing that has social interest is that it allows me to create a fairly complete employee profile, in which I can insert all kinds of education that I have had throughout my life, in addition, I can also add the various jobs that I have I had during all these years, no matter what company I worked for, I can still register it within this employee profile, also, I really love the fact that there is currently a registry of the vast majority of companies around the world. world within this social network, since I can easily write the name of my company and select it since it is registered on LinkedIn. I really loved the great way you can customize my employee profile, you were able to add a complete description of my work, my knowledge and my business journey, as well as I was able to connect with other people and view their employee profile. - The third feature that I like about this social network is the premium plan, since this premium plan allows me to access the visualization of the skills that my company has, as well as it allows me to access the functions of recruiting new employees, These functions are very important to maintain a correct recruitment of new candidates for my company, in addition, I love that the private browsing function is included in the premium plan, since I can view various profiles of some people and the platform in no time inform that person that I viewed that profile, I really love private browsing and it allows me to view any profile without leaving traces. In addition, I love that this platform offers me a function to control sales, it works for you it allows me to get a large quality clients for my company, depending on the services offered, I love this function because of the ease it uses to generate sales in Sales Navigator. - The fourth feature that I like about this pre social is that it has a section to incorporate only the employees of your company, within this section you can share publications with your employees, in addition, you will also have access to a Chat in real time, which will help you communicate with your work network easily. I really love this section of the social network, because it allows me to connect directly with each of my employees, I can share content directly with them, without anyone else having access to this content, and it also provides me with perfect security for each one of the publications that is shared within this work network. - The last feature that I liked about this social network is that it allows me to statistically view the details of each publication that I have created, how are these statistics I can perfectly understand the reach that my location has had, since it offers me advanced details about how many people have viewed my post, how many people have shared it, how many people have reacted to it, and how many people have shared this post outside of LinkedIn, I really love these stats as they give me a generalized study of the traffic or trajectory each Post created on LinkedIn.
  • LinkedIn has been a very favorable platform for us mainly because it has helped us connect with our entire work team and be able to interact with each of our employees. One of the first things that I love about this social network is that it allows me to build my network of connections, this platform allows me to have a network and I can't add you to different people who come to my work environment, this rule function delete It allows me to add known people, interact with them, view their employee profile and much more, I really love this feature as I can choose which contacts will be in my network and thus be able to modify the content that appears in my feed. Another thing that I liked about this social network is that there is no limit to the number of posts I can create in a day, and it not only allows me to create posts, but also allows me to write and share articles with all my contacts, in addition, it allows me to make all kinds of reactions to publications, comment on publications of people who are within my work network and mention people in publications or in a comment. Another of the features that I liked about this social network is that it allows me to completely edit my work profile, and I can register all kinds of past experiences that I have had in jobs. In addition, it allows me to register all kinds of education that I have had in the course of the previous years, I also allow myself to register some courses that I have taken or the organizations to which I have belonged, I really love how I can build my work profile in a complete way, I can register all my work experience and the knowledge that I have in various work areas thanks to this LinkedIn profile.

Cons

  • The negative things I have noticed about this social network were: The prices that LinkedIn offers for the different types of plans, whether it is the Recruiter plan or the Learning Plan, are really high. I currently have one of these plans, but I must emphasize that I am not very happy with the cost I pay to use this LinkedIn plan. I am currently subscribed to the Recruiter plan, and it offers very innovative features to improve the recruitment and candidate search service for your company, but I think that the prices of this plan should be a little lower to ensure the cost or benefits of our company. Another feature that I do not like about LinkedIn is that, being a social network, so widely used globally, the Feed takes a long time to load correctly, the images of each of the publications, the comments, recent new publications, take a long time to load, which is why I think that this platform in general is a little slow to show relevant information day by day. Another thing I didn't like is that LinkedIn is quite complicated for the two-step verification system, because if for some reason, I don't have access to two-step verification at the moment, it doesn't allow me to send this verification to the email or phone number, the only way to be able to access my account is by verifying my identity by sending a photo of my identity, and waiting for the support system to attend to my request, it is important to highlight that the response that is obtained through support takes approximately one or two business days, which is why it is quite difficult to access your LinkedIn account. If for some reason you lost access to two-step verification.
  • One of the negative things that I have noticed within this social network is the loading time it has for each of the sections. I have noticed that to load the main section of this platform, the process takes a couple of seconds, despite I have a good Internet connection and I have a good computer, the loading process of the main news page takes a considerable time to load correctly, in addition, the selection of people's profiles and my work profile also takes some time. time to load correctly, so I consider that the main feature that should be improved within LinkedIn is the loading time within the different sections of the platform. Another of the negative things that can be seen on this platform is that there are many fake accounts, therefore, you will have to be careful when connecting with some people or when having a conversation with a group of people, you will have to Be very careful to verify if the person you are talking to or the person who is offering you some kind of offer is real or is looking to harm you via this social network.
  • - There is a big negative side of this platform for job seekers and that is that the activity is public regardless of whether you have a privacy setting for the activity on LinkedIn. I frame this feature as a negative point for job seekers because if there is something that a candidate has interacted with (comment, post, share) and a company does not like that type of content, they will simply be rejected despite having good skills and experience. labor. I think freedom of expression is very important and people shouldn't always be judged for their way of thinking, I would prefer this to be private as before which only connections had access to a profile's activities. In general, it does not bother me, but it has harmed certain employees within my company, which I have had to reconsider since it is something unfair, because there are only two options, having a private profile or having a public profile which limits much to comment, like, post or share, since that would harm the future to find a job. - The monthly cost of the Premium feature is very high, making it more profitable to search for employees within another platform. Although the features offered by the Premium plan have been very useful to me, I consider that if you are not a worker who dedicates himself to extensive recruitment work, then it may be a waste of money. Because if you don't often post jobs or look for professional staff, I don't see much use in having an expensive plan that I'm not going to use. - The amount of spam that LinkedIn messaging has is overwhelming, too many scammers or people looking to sell you something. It's very annoying that LinkedIn doesn't solve this. I don't understand how real looking profiles with lots of connections and supposed extensive work experience are offering me something for sale, it's annoying. I wish you could filter these conversations or improve LinkedIn for verification so I know if it's a real person behind the screen or just a scammer wasting my time.
  • LinkedIn is a social network that has become a great platform for us mainly because it helped us connect as a company, however, it is also very important to mention the negative characteristics of social interest, since not all the functions it offers are positive. . Next, the negative characteristics that it has are: - The main negative point of this platform is in relation to the two weights it has for each of the premium plans, there are currently three plans first within this platform, and each one has a really high price, it is important to highlight that each plan premium offers very advanced features to correctly display the social network, extend the display of your profile, have access to the recruitment functions for your company and also allows you to create your business space within the social network, there are many things that allow cousin plans of this social network, and that it has many benefits, however, I consider that it is very necessary that the prices are much lower. Currently, these high costs do not directly affect our company, mainly because each employee is responsible for paying their presence within this social network, however, we believe that we could save money if this platform were much more It is cheaper than current prices, it has many benefits but it is very necessary that prices decrease. - Another of the negative characteristics that this platform has is the high consumption within the browsers, I have used this social network within my mobile phone, and the experience that I have had is quite fluid, the application in general is capable of loading all the content in a fluid way, in addition, it has extensive compatibility with different versions of Android and with the vast majority of versions of iOS, for which I have no type of complaint with the smooth operation of the version for mobile devices, since my main problem is with the experience I've had with the web version, this social network behaves very slowly within browsers, when loading the content of the main page, this process can take up to more than five minutes, since the social network is quite heavy and the information loading process is very slow. In addition, on some occasions the social network is very slow when the details are modified les of the employee profile, which causes the user to take a long time to configure his profile correctly, I believe that this web version should be much more optimized and consume less computer resources. - The third negative characteristic of this social network is that currently, despite the fact that a large number of candidates can be achieved thanks to the personnel recruitment system included in the premium plan, I consider that it is very necessary to implement a function to improve the positioning of the vacancy announcement that you have recently created for your company, since on some occasions we create a vacancy to recruit staff for our marketing position or our sales sector, and it would be great to improve the positioning of this ad, it would be excellent to be able to pay more money to have our vacancy ad placed first than other similar adverts. This would help future candidates to apply more quickly to our ad since it ranks higher in job search results.
  • One of the first negative things that I noticed about this social network is that in the free version you cannot see the visitors that you get within your work profile, this function is only available in the paid version and I consider that this is a point Negative since it would be excellent if any user could know exactly which person has recently viewed their profile, in addition, another of the negative things about this platform is that the premium plans are quite expensive, there are several plans available within this platform, there are plans for companies and there are also premium plans for individuals, however, all the plans that estaré social has offered have very high costs. In addition, the third negative thing about this platform is the high consumption that it has in the web version. I have downloaded the version for computers and it has worked wonderfully, as well as I have been delighted with the hope obtained from the version for mobile phones, however , the web version is quite heavy, it has a high consumption when it comes to loading all the information from the main page of publications, I consider that this is a problem since it slows down my computer a lot when opening the social network.
