Pros

LinkedIn has a great vision & we're genuine about changing the world. The execution of the vision works as I can see it. Management are aligned with the strategy and are very supportive of the employees personal goals and life. The culture is believed in and works and it helps to have a disruptive product set

Cons

Personally I can't think of much. Targets are high but have been known to move downwards if appropriate - which the first time in a 15yr career that I've seen that happen. People here do work hard but I haven't come across anybody who doesn't enjoy what they do - and work life balance is strongly supported.

Pros

Culture, culture and once again, culture. People who work here love what they do. People who complain all the time don't last. Leadership is inspirational. LinkedIn really looks after me - from free lunches through health and dental insurance to inspirational speakers. Couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Cons

Nothing I can think of at the moment. It can get fairly intense if you let it but it's all a matter of being able to stay well-organized and prioritisation.

Besides the Culture, Food, Environment, Social, Atmosphere, Gym and all the other add ons it's simply a company that will drive and allow you to be the best you can be at what you do. Then if you decide you want to try something else within LinkedIn the opportunity is there to carve a new career path

Cons

Everyone nagging you to get them a job here!
