Pros

* Engineers are treated world class; a stark contrast from a lot of so called "tech companies" that don't actually care about their technical talent * The best upper management/executive team I've ever worked under. Very transparent group of leaders. It starts from Jeff Weiner (who is the best CEO in the tech industry) and trickles down to everyone else * Amazing perks like free catered food, free snacks and drinks * Great compensation and stock packages * Awesome work/life balance * Almost all of my co workers care for the success of the company and are great to work with * Lots of promoting from within * Great location in Mountain View

Cons

I can't think of anything major enough to consider a "con" of working at LinkedIn. I would say that I wish the gym was nicer/larger and had stuff like spin classes offered, but that's a really low priority for me.

Pros

- Open and positive attitude, - Your work touches millions of people in a meaningful way, - People around you are smart but not arrogant, - If you have important things to say, you can talk to anyone, and people will listen, - Horizontal mobility: you can do different things within the company, - Not too much politics

Cons

- Space is sometimes a problem (more buildings are built in Mountain View and Sunnyvale so this could become better soon), - It is not always clear who is responsible for what, - People are running too fast which creates duplication of effort,
