Pros

Very fast moving. Lots of opportunities to grow. Great place for freshers, I see them getting opportunities to work with large scale systems.

Cons

No documentation at all. Code quality is really poor, test coverage is very low. Quality of learning might be a little less compared to other equivalent places. Some of the PMs are rude and assume a role far above developers, they forget that this is a tech company.

Pros

Culture - I feel like I am part of a family, which is incredibly difficult for a medium-sized organization to achieve. HR and Management do an excellent job evaluating candidates' cultural fit during the hiring process. Work/life balance - In general, managers are not focused on "face time". They trust their employees are doing what they should be and evaluate on performance, instead of politics. Hours are very fair. The only trivial challenge with work/life balance is that the perks and the people make you not want to leave the office. I am excited to get in the office every morning and have to force myself to leave in the evening. Employees - There is not a mean or self-centered person that works at LinkedIn. They don't get hired and if they find their way in, they don't survive. While many of the employees are former athletes and highly competitive, one of the main aspects we are evaluated on is how effectively we help those around us to succeed. This makes for a collaborative, innovative sales culture. Comp and perks - Overachievers are compensated fairly and the solutions that LinkedIn offers its clients are quite impactful, so salespeople do not have to swindle and deal to achieve their goals. Free catered lunches, a plethora of snacks and drinks to choose from, ping-pong, foosball, team outings... these perks are just the icing on the cake. The special vibe that LinkedIn has created is why this company is truly one of a kind and I feel fortunate to be a part of the team.

Cons

At times, it feels like policies and plans change too quickly, but that is me digging for something to critique.
