Great perks, great mission: helping people get jobs.

Pros

One of the only companies to offer me a higher salary than asked instead of haggling, cafeteria serves 3 high-quality meals a day, and what the CEO is most concerned about in business is "managing compassionately." On top of that, you go to work everyday knowing that you're helping people connect and find economic opportunity.

Cons

Like any Silicon Valley company, the 40-hour workweek is a relic of a bygone era--although I see higher ups sometimes go to bat for people being able to go home at a decent hour or take a vacation without work emergencies cropping up.

Pros

The people are amazing, the product WORKS, it's about the needs of the clients not just selling everything and anything you can. The culture is so supportive and invested in the growth of their employees. It's absolutely the best place I've worked and I don't feel the stress of a normal sales job that I'm used to feeling. I'm incredibly happy.

Cons

I had to take a step back in my career to come to LinkedIn as compared to other young sales companies they have much more talent and experience on their teams. It was a tough decision to take a pay cut and start closer to the bottom, but it's been beyond worth it.

Pros

Great benefits, great pay, company headed in the right direction and management really cares about employees, stock on the rise, great place to work overall. I really like what Weiner has been able to do in his tenure and hope he can keep it up. The Mountain View campus is awesome and the organized events that the company scheduled for us were a great time to meet some of our co-workers in other departments and socialize.

Cons

Somewhat long commute from San Francisco to Mountain View, long hours, busy work environment, some co-workers were overly cocky and chose not to put in as much effort as the rest of the team. I left to pursue a higher paid position next door at Google where I felt my abilities were able to be better utilized because some of the projects at LinkedIn seemed low-level.
