Pros

The TAO of Linden is what attracted me to this position. The TAO describes how we are expected to behave. It is not just words. Work Together. Walk in our Residents' shoes. Good People Make Good Choices . . . and vice versa. Be thoughtful and transparent. No Politics. Sharing our mission requires that you honor this rule at all times: Never act to advance your own interests or someone else's interests at the expense of the interests of the company. It is delightful to work together collaboratively, not as individuals competitively. The work is fun and we have the opportunity to help advance the ability for people to interact and communicate with others around the world. Employees are trusted and valued.

Cons

The only downside I can think of is that our office area can be somewhat noisy. Other than that, it is great.

Pros

Nicest employees I've worked with but no one ends up lasting. Good vacation leave but too hard to take.

Cons

This place was honestly terrible. The people running it didn’t use the product, didn’t understand the customers, and just built whatever they felt like. Then they acted confused when everything failed. The company is run by giant egos who treated employees like used tissues. All the long time employees ended up getting “let go” because they wouldn’t act like puppets or leave because it's hopeless. Then the exact same jobs suddenly opened back up, but only in certain offices. So much for their big WFH culture. The office culture is gone and the rats are leaving the sinking ship. Linden can't increase their user base to save their lives so its only a matter of time. The head of product operations was so toxic someone wrote a fifty page Medium article about it, and the company still didn’t care. Nobody feels safe speaking up. The execs only wanted people who nodded and agreed, and they cared more about themselves than customers or employees. I wouldn’t recommend working here to anyone. It was a total mess.
