Pros

Cool Work environment, free food.

Cons

Work environment has become toxic since business performance is slowing down. Middle Management's weakness is very apparent now that leadership is required to motivate sales force. Tactics such as performance improvement plan or "firing" threats seem to be the only method that management is using. Overall sales environment is incredibly low and everyone is concerned about their future and ability to make any $ since quotas are not even close to being realistic.

Pros

LI brand is strong within the industry (amazing PR team and employees are asked to post positive reviews before rankings come out) so you should be heavily recruited after some time here. Work life balance = good. Each business @LI has a different culture. Depends on who the leader of the business is and the leaders they have hired. Also think HQ has a more positive culture than the sales offices. Interviews are dead easy. One reason there have been alot of bad hires.

Cons

Culture and values are for chumps...at least in sales. They're a way to keep individual contributors in line. Leadership defied values regularly in my business. It's well-known that integrity is not something this leader cares for. Team leads contacted HR, but HR blew them off. Don't think this is an issue across the company, but it's a major issue in my team. Not the best and the brightest here. Compared to the other major tech companies...LI people are just not that smart. Take a look on LI at profiles of the sales people who work here and you'll see. The comp is also average because they can't afford to hire the best. It's also one reason for the amazing reviews. It's a great job for people who don't have a shot at working with and for the best so they're thrilled with what they get at LI. LI is behind on product innovation. The product is usually a copy of whatever FB launched a year ago. Get as many RSUs and the highest comp you can when you join because once you're in they are stingy.

Pros

Location of the office Design of the office

Cons

The fakest organization I have ever seen in my life. Everyone is pretending they love the company and their managers just to get promotions. Salaries are low, and free lunch is not even something to brag about. There is no career development at all although they do a lot of marketing of it internally. If you are from a strong company, do not even think about joining Linkedin as your colleagues and managers would be less qualified than you.
