Pros

There are members of the HR team who genuinely care about employee well being and strive to do what is right not just for the company, but for the employees as well. Compensation appears to be largely in line with industry standards. The benefits package is robust, offering a wide range of perks, including a quarterly bonus referred to as the "Love Machine" bonus, which is a notable highlight.

Cons

There are challenges that impact the overall employee experience. A significant concern is the lack of trust between management and employees. This appears to stem from inconsistent communication and interactions that at times feel unpredictable. There have been instances where commitments made by management were not upheld, leading to confusion and frustration. Additionally, there have been times of unprofessional behavior stemming from management, including instances of raised voices and disruptive conduct such as door slamming, which can contribute to a tense and uncomfortable work environment. Internal mobility is limited unless a layoff seems to be happening, and even when positions open within the same department, employees are required to go through a panel interview process, just like when they were hired on to the company.

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.
