Pros

Dan Pink said that Autonomy and Mastery are the motivators for ground breaking success . At LinkedIn this is exactly what you get - the ability to be self directed and act like an owner

Cons

Since the teams are distributed sometimes it can lead to mis communication. But this is true for any global company in the market today

Pros

Employee engagement, Health & Well-being, free foods and snacks, RSU, bonus. Really good culture and values. Love the "In" days every month which is a nice break from the day to day business.

Cons

Lack of red tape (I know!!), playing catch up all the time, no clear vision. The ELT need to part with some control and appoint somebody in EMEA who can make decisions based on local policies.
