Lori M.

People and Culture Manager

“Features like automatic reassignment of training save staff time and helps make sure resource families stay up to date with necessary training to remain compliant with program standards.”

Jodi G.

Pros

“More specifically about the interface, I enjoy how the courses are broken into sections to make them digestible, that you can edit the playback speed, that there are check-in quizzes to test your learning, and that you can take notes!”

Nova S.

Commerce Investment Associate

“Its a nice platform offering wide range of skill based courses for continuous learning and career upskilling, making LinkedIn Learning as a valuable tool.”

Nishant T.

Sr analyst

“Additionally, you can earn certificates that are automatically sharable on LinkedIn and you have the option to auto populate your skills areas with new skills based on what you earned.”

Jesse Z.

Software Engineer

Cons

“The reporting features did not always provide the level of detail or customization needed and the assignment functionality felt somewhat limited, making it harder for admins.”

Lauren J.

Admin

“Having to manually check if any retiring courses have current progress enrollments, and sending out an email to the user to tell them that they need to complete it or it will not be accessible any more.”

Lorraine M.

Talent Management

“Their license structure doesn't allow us to re-use licenses from past users, which is hard with our industry's turnover.”

Katie J.

VP, Talent Operations

Cons

“The cost of the product is far too high, the search page is difficult for users to manage and find what they need, admin features were difficult to navigate and limited without extra add-ons (cost) and customer support is slow and not helpful.”

Julie L.

Director Learning and Development

“There are a lot of courses that are low level , too generic and withou any juice at all, you must oick the course wisely.”

Miguel L.

CAD Engineer

“When integrated with HR systems such as Workday, navigation is clunky and experience is not fulfilling.”

Ruchir G.

Director of Product
