Pros

Culture, transparent top management team, high energy, free food, great benefits, good pay.

Cons

It is very political. The middle management team has so many meetings and doesn't have time to actually "manage" the team. When they do "manage" means micro management to control over everything. They pick favorite people and promote them. The promotions for the other people don't happen.

Pros

Cool offices - Free Food - Decent Pay - Strong brand recognition that opens doors elsewhere.

Cons

•Culture has shifted from bold and human to bureaucratic and overly cautious. The values that once made LinkedIn unique feel more like slogans than lived experiences. •Leadership is increasingly disconnected, overly focused on Microsoft alignment, and resistant to constructive feedback from those closest to the work. •Innovation has stalled. Product decisions often feel reactive, watered down by consensus, and more focused on internal politics than user value. •“Transformation” efforts are constant but lack clarity or follow-through — lots of slide decks, very little substance. • Talented people are burning out or leaving in frustration, and those who remain are often afraid to speak up. •Internal mobility has become more about who you know than what you can do.
