There's work to do to make it a better environment

Business Outlook

Pros

Great perks, lovely people! Interesting work and travel to great places.

Cons

Everyone is overworked. Little flexibility with home working - so even if you work hard managers expect you to be in the office at all hours. Frowned upon to leave at six. Lots of people seem to leave when pregnant or sick as it's not a supportive environment.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Company has been doing well in relative to the industry - Have offices around the US

Cons

- Most employees who work here get the work done (more like robots) vs people who think and are invested in the team/customers - Attitude internally is that customers will always come to us and while we're doing well now, LinkedIn will phase out at some point so treating customers badly isn't the way to go but I see team members doing it all the time unfortunately. This same attitude transcends down to Managers and the rest of the team.
