Pros

Respectful environment: they accept people the way they are. Some traits that could have been perceived as weaknesses in other companies are seen as strengths at Linkedin. They know how to bring the best in people. Great career opportunities: you truly have chance to demonstrate what you are capable of. You are trusted to work independently, you are not micromanaged.

Cons

Some teams are more established than others. If you are in a new or smaller team, you may not be as aware of career progression opportunities and it is harder to get promoted.
