Pros

If you just graduated from college, working at LinkedIn will definitely make you spoiled! There are amazing perks, and the people/office are awesome! The best work culture.

Cons

The experience at LinkedIn really depends on what department/team you're on, and also who your manager is. I think some managers are not as experienced as others (i.e. first time managers). Also salary is super dependent on what team you are on. Other than the Engineering teams, LinkedIn pays below industry average (they are hoping their perks and brand name will entice people to work for them). Unfortunately, my job falls in that category.

Pros

Great Food, Coffee, Snacks, and Perks Great initial offer and stock Great 401k matching InDay -- a Day a month to hack/or paint/or whatever. Overall a good environment with some intelligent engineers and awesome perks.

Cons

Team Moves incredibly slow (might not apply to everyone) Bad refresher stocks Maintenance mode development Extreme tech-debt was taking a huge toll on development. My team wasn't really exciting, and was mostly just maintaining the existing product. I felt like the engineers weren't given much freedom to design, as most of the time the architect would baby sit us.

Pros

LinkedIn really cares about its employees. Many employees have the idea of "culture" and "values", but I don't know if there is another company that is really guided by these principles day in and day out at every level of the individual contributor and management chain. Everyone is extremely approachable, even the CEO! You are able to walk up and talk to a Sr. Staff Engineer and ask questions about something even if you are a new college graduate. LinkedIn is very much not a top-down company. High level initiatives and goals can be decided by the higher level management, but features and products come from the people that work on them. Everyone is encouraged to speak their mind and give their own opinion about anything, even if it is a product or service that you don't work on. Your opinion is valued. Your performance is evaluated in a matter where working well in a team and making your team output better is rewarded. It never feels like it's you vs your coworkers. We are all on the same team, trying to achieve the same goals. The perks are awesome! I believe we are the only company to now have a full week company shutdown for July 4th as well as the holiday time shutdown. Also, we now have discretionary time off (unlimited vacation days). We have incredible, healthy, free food, fantastic facilities, and an amazing music program! Bottom line: LinkedIn cares about its employees and really listens to feedback and actually makes changes according to that feedback!

Cons

LinkedIn says that it very much values craftsmanship, however thus far it has shown that it values execution more. Things may be changing soon on this front however, because there is now a renewed focus on craftsmanship.
