Pros

Facilities provided here are better than what I could even imagine. Great gym, free food, lots of books, health and wellness. Other companies talk about culture and how it is important to their organisation etc. LinkedIn lives by it's culture. People are most important and they chosen based on their expertise AND that they will be a cultural fit. It's an amazing place!! Our CEO is one of the most influential people I've had the please of hearing speak. The man is a huge asset to our company!

Cons

Air conditioning isn't great and because we are growing so quickly we are quickly running out of space (but we are planning on moving in the next 2 years)

Pros

I LOVE my job and LOVE working here 1. Incredible people - bright, motivated, hardworking, fun and a no a-hole policy 2. Amazing products - truly add value to people and companies 3. Opportunity - career progression, travel, opportunity for the company 4.Cool offices and perks 5. Fantastic leadership team - both at the executive level and regionally

Cons

I joined LinkedIn when it was still in it's infancy in Dublin and have seen it quadruple in size since I've joined. This brings it's own issues. 1.There are now more layers of management 2.There are less transformational career opportunities - previously it was "common" to be promoted every year this process is now MUCH SLOWER 3.There is more bureaucracy and processes 4.It's more difficult to get to know people
