Lofty ideals muddle by the inadequacy of people

Pros

LinkedIn has a very compelling mission objective. Thanks to their ideals they often bring in great people who likewise demonstrate caring. LinkedIn definitely believes in training and often times will allow you greater resources to improve. LinkedIn does a hell of a job of getting people new to the company really excited and mobilizing these people to speak their praises. (Note how long most of the glowing review have worked at LinkedIn). They best way to describe LinkedIn's culture: "We are a bunch of workaholics who like alcohol."

Cons

Bad manager's.- Thanks to LinkedIn's hypergrowth we have promoted a lot of new managers who are just candidly bad. Switching of standards- I believe this orientates its self around bad manager's many times, they will say one thing and measure by a different standard then what was communicated. Leading to complications, also i have witness managers stop their team members from being promoted, when a hiring manager wanted said teammate. Lastly, the hiring experience at LinkedIn could definitely be improved.

Pros

The management embraces great values — and don't just pay lip service, but really mean them. Amongst these are: • take intelligent risks — it's ok to make mistakes and learn from them, much better than not having tried • transformation of self — realizing that LinkedIn probably won't be your last job, and hence helping you become ever better at what you do, to improve your future career when you eventually decide to move on • valuing talent highly — recognising and rewarding good work

Cons

Willingness to adopt new ideas varies across the organization — some departments are awesomely dynamic, others are more resistant to change.
