Pros

very positive, friendly environment that has me challenging myself and continuously learning from driven and intelligent people.

Cons

You must be self motivated to succeed. Unlike my previous employer, managers will not micromanage you. But, I do not feel this is a con. Really there is no con. I would just say if you are not a hard worker and self motivated, do not apply.

Pros

LinkedIn is a great company and has a strong brand, but what I love more is the environment I get to work in every day. Scooters, cube decorating competitions, fund raising events for charities, hilarious and brilliant coworkers, food, group fitness classes, etc. The list goes on and on. And, not for nothing, I am doing work about which I am passionate. I am 2.5 years in and the honeymoon is definitely not over.

Cons

LinkedIn has gotten bigger, but some of the systems haven't scaled with us. We're a bit behind in this regard and it's gonna take a while to catch up.
