Pros

The culture and values are real. Casual atmosphere breeds familiarity and easy accessibility to high level executives.

Cons

The demands and pacing quickly overwhelm talented people who have been top performers their entire lives. It is extremely hard to get headcount despite the exponential growth of the company. If you're not a salesperson or an engineer, expect to work with extremely lean resources and ever increasing demands.

Pros

Linkedin treats you like an adult, people can be themselves, you'll have the opportunity to accelerate your career, very fun culture and most people are grateful to be here! A job you never dread going to...

Cons

It's a modern day good ol' boys network. The same people are constantly getting promoted in the sales org. Many of the executive sales leadership team and higher ranks have little to no sales experience and are often focused on non-related businesses, internal side projects or jetting off to foreign countries for what seems like frequent "team meetings". Pay is definitely sub par; no focus on improved compensation or presidents club, quotas are astronomical, new business / account executive team is heavily favored over relationship management org.

Pros

Good culture at individual contributor level Good perks Flexible working hours

Cons

This is only specific to my org....have heard some good things about other orgs Terrible Middle Management Cronyism rules Unfair bias towards management in terms of available opportunities and control over employee careers No accountability for managers for employee growth or career progression Lot of talk about 'Compassionate Leadership', 'Open Constructive Criticism' but rarely followed by managers
