Pros

There's a positive, inspirational culture and you work with some amazing people. Creativity is encouraged, and you can move around a lot. There isn't a hierarchical feeling. People are open to new ideas and dialogue.

Cons

It's hard to get a sense of strategic direction from Product leaders. It can be challenging to collaborate across product teams. People who like a lot of structure and certainty are likely to be unhappy here.

Business Outlook

Pros

* Great company culture focused on continuous innovation * Smart, dedicated and motivated employees * Open transparent executive team * Employee friendly

Cons

* For a hyper growth company, LinkedIn is surprisingly not investing enough in hiring / grooming middle managers. At times, it feels that the place works in spite of itself * Company is not doing enough to grow and promote people from within * Poor communication & coordination across different team with signs of creeping politics
