Keep in mind, a lot of the reviews you'll see here are from new, or newer, members of the corporate workforce.
In a nutshell, being a 10 year old company doesn't mean you should act like a 10 year old.
Tall silos; turf wars; gossip and rumor mongering; lack of management experience and support; and counter-culture actions and attitudes. People are allowed to ride roughshod over each other and there is a strong culture of fear in some groups. Support is non-existent to those who experience this. It sounds trite, but I also haven't met many genuinely 'nice' people. They all seem too busy trying to prove themselves.
The famous LinkedIn culture is inconsistent. Speak with most teams, or just read the reviews here, and you'll see glowing ones about the LinkedIn culture. Just realize that it does not permeate into all groups at LinkedIn. We are not treated equally or fairly, as some would like to claim. And that can happen anywhere you go, sure.
Be very careful when accepting a job here that you read into the lines of how people describe the group, each other, and their management. I saw red flags but chose to ignore them. When you can't get a clear definition or answer to a question, you should know there is a problem. Unless you're a recent college grad .. in which case, you'll have a blast.
The comp is not as good as other places. I had two other job offers that I turned down that were much higher than this, for smaller jobs.
