Pros

Inspirational leadership, great culture, fast moving and dynamic environment! Collaborative environment where you see people working together as a team to achieve the common goals.

Cons

- Some teething problems that are typical of fast-growing companies. Business is moving forward so quickly that the supporting functions are sometimes lagging behind and trying to catch up without all the proper processes in place. - The office almost doubled in headcount over the past 1 year. With the sudden influx of people, it's important and also challenging to retain the LinkedIn culture.. sometimes people get so caught up in results that they are no longer supporting LinkedIn culture events.

Definitely a learning experience, but not the best for me

Pros

Company perks. Awesome product. Generally came across great people.

Cons

Management does play favorites. Competitive nature (metric-based). Has become too large. LI claims to be a start-up, but it really isn't. It has become very corporate, especially with regards to politics and trying to move up the ladder.
