This is the first company I have worked for that when talking about transformation we are actually transforming. People here are committed to making LinkedIn a great experience for their employees. They listen to survey feedback, are transparent with the feedback and honor commitments to change. The open door policy here is real. Our culture and values are used in a way to guide interactions and decisions. They are a living breathing set of values that are part of LinkedIn's DNA.
