Pros

Flexible work hours, fun people (mostly hire young people, which can be a pro and a con), nice "perks" to incentivize people to stay, overall good culture.

Cons

Misalignment between overall company culture/values and what is actually managed down/the way people actually treat each other. Easy to plateau in most positions., even thought the work isn't always that challenging. Compensation is below market for most other tech companies in the Bay Area and you're not a "cool" or hot enough company to get away with that, sorry.

Hiring too many young people to do senior jobs that they cannot do. I have seen too many people set up for failure. They are not given a chance.

Pros

-Smart co-workers -Fast paced environment -Frequent opportunity to beta test new products -Free catered lunches, drinks, snacks, Froyo

Cons

-Hostile environment: Bullying and workplace violence. I've personally experienced this as well as others across my organization. -Middle management is unable to manage expectations from executive leadership team resulting in burn out and demoralization of those doing the work on the ground. -Many of the inspiring leaders that built up Linkedin to what it is today have left or will be leaving Linkedin soon. -Very political and hierarchical
