New hire, loving it so far

Business Outlook

Pros

I'm new so I'm still on my honeymoon, to be fair. But I'm basically floored by how nice, smart, and talented the people are here. Everyone from the support staff to senior leadership is open and welcoming. Development opportunities abound and the culture is positive and inspiring. I am excited to be here. A number my more tenured colleagues have volunteered something to the effect of "I know you're wondering if this feeling will last. I've been here X years and I'm still loving it." They seem to do a great job of teeing people up to do their best work.

Cons

Really not in a position to evaluate, in all honesty.

Pros

The work culture and people at LinkedIn are definitely solid. There is high-energy here as the company continues to do well overall. It a great place to start and grow your career.

Cons

Compensation is a little on the lower side if you are not an engineer but there are many other perks that the company provide. Also the company is getting larger so things can move slowly at times.
