Pros

They provide great opportunities for growth both personal and career. They empower their employees to be innovative And have a real open door policy all the way to the top.

Cons

Because of rapid growth there isn't a lot of opportunity for close mentoring of junior people that need more hand holding. If you can't jump in and figure out how to swim you will drown

Pros

Great people, free food and a fun office to work in. Employees are allowed to work on their own projects as long as it aligns with their manager's OKRs.

Cons

Career growth, junior management, 401K, Health and Life insurance. LinkedIn had a lot of growth in 2011 and 2012. They tends to hire people over qualified for the roles/positions they are trying to fill and promote long standing individual contributors that have been with the company. Doing this has caused some problems when teams have a lot of senior individual contributors reporting to junior management. LinkedIn's Sales Organization, especially Talent Solutions, is over grown with limited opportunity to move up in the company. You will see employees running to other parts of the sales organization since there is no growth and they are trying to find their own career path. Management always listens to open, honest and constructive feedback, but they never do anything about it. Employees have OKRs each quarter, giving managers only enough time to work on writing feedback on employees for each quarter. The company is starting to split with so many offices. (i.e. San Francisco, Mountain View, New York, Chicago, Sunnyvale, etc.) This is a big issue for those that want to work in the office with a team. A lot people work from home or work in remote locations, making it hard to collaborate with teammates.

Pros

They take care of their employees. A lot of activities going on. Working with very talented people. I like the company all hands run very two weeks. Good support for progressing in your career. Delicious food in the cafeteria during breakfast and dinner.

Cons

Teams work mostly in silos. Culture may differ from a team to another. Other than that no much negativity.
