Business Outlook

Pros

Commitment to employee growth, lots of opportunities for internal growth both on the technical and management size, compelling technical stack with the opportunity to get exposed to a lot of relevant technologies, strong open source presence. Also free gym and food.

Cons

It's a public company very focussed on numbers. The user features evolution is slower than at a 10 person startup.

Pros

LinkedIn has a great vision & we're genuine about changing the world. The execution of the vision works as I can see it. Management are aligned with the strategy and are very supportive of the employees personal goals and life. The culture is believed in and works and it helps to have a disruptive product set

Cons

Personally I can't think of much. Targets are high but have been known to move downwards if appropriate - which the first time in a 15yr career that I've seen that happen. People here do work hard but I haven't come across anybody who doesn't enjoy what they do - and work life balance is strongly supported.
