Pros

LinkedIn has an incredible culture. Colleagues genuinely care about each other and will do everything in their power to help each other. The learning curve has been steep and I have enjoyed every second. The opportunities to change your career trajectory are endless. The bigger your dream, the more the people around you will want to see it happen. The whole experience of working here has been transformational and I know it has barely started!

Cons

I love feeling challenged, working hard and enjoy that every day brings something (or ten things!) that are new. If you are motivated by different things then LinkedIn might not be the best place for you.
