Pros
At LinkedIn, values are not just words on papers but truly integrated into everything we think, say and do each and everyday at each level of the company. Many companies boast about work-life balance but very few actually make it happen, LinkedIn has been that and so much more! My favorite of it all? The InDays once a month when everyone in the office takes some time off work and come together to do something as a team.
Cons
I work in a regional office, and just as a lot of global companies (or companies on the path of globalization) work hard to find their foothold in the fine balance between giving direction, communicating that, and getting feedback from what works / what doesn't work in local markets - LinkedIn struggles with that too. Nonetheless, management IS trying to eliminate the invisible barriers as much as possible through surveys and frequent regional All-Hands meetings which does help to a certain extent!
