Pros

LinkedIn is a great place to work. The rapport the staff have with each other is incredible and everyone who works here has a great personality! Staff are very well looked after, we have fantastic catered food every day, amazing snacks, a gym onsite with great classes and a company credit cards ( if you work in Sales or travel a lot) The team dynamics are great and the targets although high are achievable if you leverage all the support and help around you. Commission structure is very good and there are lots of incentives in place to motivate you. A very fun place to work, never a dull moment!

Cons

A lot of internal noise at times, need to be very organized to ensure you are getting through your day but contributing to helping others also.

Pros

The people The culture The management team The fun The transparency The results! The list is endless. Having worked in many multinationals in my time, I can honestly say that this is the best company I have ever worked at. I love coming to work in the morning - not a statement I've been able to make before I started working here! You do work hard but wow, the return you reap is huge. I can see myself being here for a long, long time.

Cons

Fast paced environment - you really need to think on your feet. But this is actually more of a pro for me and everyone here as you have such a cool opportunity to shape the future of this company.
