Pros
The Business Leadership Program is truly second-to-none. You're collaborating with some of the most thoughtful, kind, and creative peers, all while gaining a tremendous amount of knowledge of LinkedIn's business lines. The leadership team deeply cares about guiding the associates to be their best professional self and present ample opportunities to hone your leadership skills. I'm quite confident I will learn a ton as I transition into a full-time sales development role. Compensation for a rotational program straight out of school is generous and above market (nothing outrageously competitive, but quite decent). You're given a base salary and a variable component, and the quota is completely fair and achievable. Your total compensation package (401k, PerkUp, signing bonus, time off) is outstanding.
Cons
What's cool about BLP is that you have an opportunity to choose 1 of 4 pathways (SaaS Sales, Media Sales, Sales Analytics, Non-Quota). While you don't have full control over which path you pursue due to business needs, you certainly have the capacity to make your luck happen by demonstrating your interest in a specific pathway. That said, the one downside to BLP is that you don't necessarily get job exposure to these pathways prior to choosing. Instead, everyone goes through customer operations (which has been beyond fruitful to learning the products) before selecting their path. While there are plenty of guest speakers from different parts of the business and opportunities to learn what a day-in-the-life is like, it would be SUPER cool to actually have exposure to these pathways as part of rotations to just get a taste of what something like, say, analytics would be.

Pros
THE CULTURE. I have never seen a company that cares so greatly about their employees and invests in them like LinkedIn does. Incredible senior leadership, amazing benefits, and a special mission to be a part of.
Cons
Company can feel very Large at times. Not many other cons.
