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.

Pros

I would highly recommend LinkedIn as an employer. The rapid growth of the organization provides a great deal of opportunity, and the culture is amazing. Couple that with best in class products and a top notch brand and this is an employer that is tough to beat. The leadership team is fantastic as well, I have full confidence in them to steer the ship to further success.

Cons

The 401k matching program could be much stronger, this is a major drawback. It would also be nice to have gym benefits. Also 4 weeks of vacation would make it very difficult to leave.
