Avoid premium.. not worth it I don’t recommend LinkedIn premium.. the features were not very useful and I was not notified when my ‘free’ trail was about to end. I was stuck with a large bill which I would have happily avoided.

very disappointing! My LinkedIn profile is restricted! The reason given is probably a post, which I can't even see as I can't open my LinkedIn now. LinkedIn team could have at least given me a warning or send me a message to remove the post instead of blocking my account like this. I am a freelancer recruiter, that's my only source of income and LinkedIn is my only source for my job. Please activate my account as soon as possible. I have many urgent messages to reply and work to do. I have deadlines to meet. There is no helpline phone number or email to seek help! the help center is useless. Contact us option I can't use, as for that I have to login first. which I can't ! all the ways to get help are blocked! I can't loose my LinkedIn account, I have a network of 450 people who are important for my job.

Can't stop unwarranted emails Short of deleting my profile, can't stop getting rubbish emails from them. I'm sure it still has its place for some people . . .

Great social media Great social media, actually. I connect with my fellow colleagues in it, connect with new people who can give me new knowledge about something. It's a very useful source of knowledge, by the way. Other than that, there are some other standalone services such as Navigator for sales purpose, so if you are fond of marketing or something, then you can use this tool.

Late reply to security problems; resolved in the end via FB EDIT: I messaged LinkedIn on Facebook and they replied and deleted my account as asked. It took a few days but it seems resolved. I have a security problem with my account and they leave absolutely no way for me to access my account or communicate with them. I verified with a code they sent to their email, don’t work at the company I last used for a backup email, so used their persona government ID system which just spat me out at the login page again with nothing. No help, no email, no login, no security. Nothing. What’s the point of verifying it’s me a jumping through hoops. All I want to do is delete my account from their poisonous network of garbage.
