Pros
- The company invests in its employees. Not only from a perks standpoint, but managers are incentivized to grow their team members and direct reports to push themselves. Whether this is taking on additional responsibility, presenting in front of management, or coming up with new ideas for a product, people are open to new ideas and takes them very seriously. - Awesome culture! inDays and events help really cement LinkedIn's commitment to connecting the world's economy. I helped mentor a youth and followed his journey throughout the college application process (and he got in!). You can literally make a difference, in and outside of your job description. - Perks: Now standard for silicon valley enterprises, but little bonuses like credit for massages/gym memberships. Free food, benefits, a kick-ass 401k plan, and more. - Career: Since it's a career focused company, managers are more or less open to transitions between functions provided you have done extra work to make your next logical step in your career happen.
Cons
- Since LinkedIn's member base trails a bit behind FB and TW, LinkedIn feels like it's playing catch-up at times. - As with most SV companies, drinks its own kool-aid a bit sometimes and get drunk on it.
