Pros

Corporate culture - in addition to results, respect, collaboration, humor and kindness are required and rewarded. Benefits are top notch. Offices are swanky. People fantastic (jerks are exception, not rule).

Cons

Pay not as high as other sales organizations; Processes not as streamlines as expected.

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.

Pros

- Great peers - Awesome work, you can set directions for lot of technical initiatives regardless of the level you are at - Work on open source (especially in System Infra group where many Apache projects have evolved) - Great food - Stock with good upside potential (atleast I believe so) - Company cares about employees (many amenities and perks, free classes, and employee focussed events) - Monthly InDays (one was themed around parents in 2015 - BIYP my mom really loved it) - Good compensation and work life balance - Two yearly shutdowns (rather than one at the year end at most places) and unlimited vacations

Cons

- None at the moment - You might grow a bit faster at a startup, but then its a personal choice
