LinkedIn has offered me the most transformational experience of my career, on a professional and personal level.

Pros

Folks will tell you about the food, the gym and all the other amenities, which I am incredibly grateful for. However, it is secondary to the incredible fulfillment that comes with being part of a movement that I believe in so wholeheartedly, that's what excites me every day.

Cons

We are growing so fast, I just want to be sure the integrity of our culture is maintained which will be a challenge. I do feel we have the tools to achieve this though.

Pros

LinkedIn is an unbelievable place to work. At this company, I truly believe that the leadership really wants to help people globally enhance their lives not only professionally but personally. I started at LinkedIn almost 3 years ago before we went public and the company has done a great job of keeping a "start-up" environment. This can sound kind of cliche but it is fitting in this case. Also, the people at LinkedIn are incredible. I never run across anyone that I just don't want to work with. Everyone is down to earth, smart and wants to make a difference. The company also gives you opportunities to do different things which is not always the case at other companies. Managers genuinely care about you as a person and what you are interested in, not just hitting the bottom line. LinkedIn also strives for people to have a work life balance. Many companies say they do, because it is politically correct, but at the end of the day, LinkedIn delivers on this. I can't say enough good things about the company and it is a wonderful place to work for people in all fields and experience levels.

Cons

I haven't experienced anything negative at LinkedIn
