Pros

- A shared and uncompromising believe to conduct business with integrity and put member's first - Most people are goal oriented and very dedicated to bring LinkedIn mission and vision to life - Great benefits - Management cares about your well being - Best perks in town, but subpar compared with offices in other locations - Despite of acquisitions and multiple reorgs, the culture remains strong - Competitive salary - The overwhelmingly majority of people are friendly, helpful and respectful

Cons

- Talent retention seems an area that is neglected. There is a heavy focus in new talent and the sentiment you need to leave the company and come back in order to be able to grow is increasing - Some organizations and locations are stigmatized which results in less opportunities to grow - While LinkedIn's vision is to create economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce, it hasn't joined the ranks of Facebook and Google by removing college degree requirements for a lot of positions that experience could be a substitute - Some teams are becoming very hierarchical and there are few bad apples who use politics to accomplish personal agendas

Pros

Compensation was strong and competitive. The people were genuinely good to work with, and on paper the mission is one you can get behind. Solid brand and a smart, capable workforce.

Cons

Leadership often felt political and opaque. Success was difficult to define clearly, and it frequently seemed like the business quietly picked winners and losers rather than rewarding performance on transparent terms.
