Pros

Working at LinkedIn so far has been such a life changing career choice. At my former company they knew the importance of culture, but had a hard time delivering on it. However, at LinkedIn culture is key. Everyone is so friendly; they want to make coming to work fun, and they live up to their value "Relationships Matter". Also, the growth opportunity within the company is remarkable - Please don't leave. It blew my mind to see how much internal growth they promote. It's a wonderful way to see many different sides of the business and find your niche.

Cons

We're growing so fast that sometimes it's hard to keep up with the changes. I don't think this is necessarily a con, but more of an adjustment for most people. Also, some of their benefits could improve like 401k.

Pros

Great treatment of it's employees. Good work recognized and rewarded. Great people. Great culture and values, with few, far-between exceptions. Generally smart, competent, motivated people. Creativity and intelligence gets rewarded.

Cons

A few manager duds (though fewer than at most companies). It can become easy to work too hard, and suddenly work/life balance gets lost.
