Pros

Very fast moving. Lots of opportunities to grow. Great place for freshers, I see them getting opportunities to work with large scale systems.

Cons

No documentation at all. Code quality is really poor, test coverage is very low. Quality of learning might be a little less compared to other equivalent places. Some of the PMs are rude and assume a role far above developers, they forget that this is a tech company.

Personal development is genuinely encouraged

Business Outlook

Pros

The management embraces great values — and don't just pay lip service, but really mean them. Amongst these are: • take intelligent risks — it's ok to make mistakes and learn from them, much better than not having tried • transformation of self — realizing that LinkedIn probably won't be your last job, and hence helping you become ever better at what you do, to improve your future career when you eventually decide to move on • valuing talent highly — recognising and rewarding good work

Cons

Willingness to adopt new ideas varies across the organization — some departments are awesomely dynamic, others are more resistant to change.

Amazing open culture

Business Outlook

Pros

Open culture, engineers help each other across teams. All code is in SVN for everyone to see, or modify and submit a review request. Awesome cafeteria.

Cons

Free food makes you fat. Open seating area can make it hard to work sometimes due to all the distractions, but its the same problem in all bay area companies, so you have to find your ways of dealing with them.
