Pros

When I started at LinkedIn I found myself surrounded by some of the brightest, most collegial people I've ever worked with. Perks were amazing.

Cons

Through the course of my time there I saw a notable shift from 'team-centric' to an overly politicized environment which truly felt hostile in the end. C-Level management appears approachable, but when interacted with directly I realized that the 'approachable' appearance was largely just that--appearance. I started out a true believer in the brand and in the end was disappointed.

Pros

Best CEO and board in the world, great organization culture, awesome perks, salaries above average, opportunities to develop your career, successful business and good principles of corporate social responsibility.

Cons

Support departments are no different from other orgs. If you work in those areas it's all about popularity, with blurry lines for recognition & rewards. It's also hard to transition to different business lines due to internal stigma. The only issue with the org culture is the endemic unconscious bias that is detrimental to talent.

Pros

I love working here. I love the people, I love the perks, I love the office, I love the work/life balance. For the most part, all I have is love. LinkedIn does an incredible job proving to it's employees how important we are in making this entire thing happen. Things that are covered: food, drink, gym memberships and healthcare. Fringe benefits include a very flexible opportunity to work from home (assuming you're doing your job), a "lifestyle" allowance that ranges from being able to buy Soul Cycle classes, to having a dog walker. Honestly, it's a bit unbelievable- but mostly amazing.

Cons

Sometimes I feel like I'm left scratching my head in regards to career progression in a way that I still don't fully understand. People are held to different standards, promotions happen for some and not others, despite the "others" out performing and also upholding more internal values of the company. I've seen someone put on a performance plan for hitting below their annual number (in sales this is typical) but in the same breath, saw someone promoted with an even lower percentage of previous year achievement. I still have no idea how that works. There are also departments that are literally ruining the client experience (Billing). I just keep thinking "the soup truck down the street never screws up my payment for yummy chicken noodle soup, how in the hell does one of the best/biggest companies in the world mess up payments for our clients?" -- perhaps I'm just not keen to the intricacies of back end accounting and billings, but it's honestly the worst part of my job; having billing nightmare conversations with clients.
