Pros
DIBs (diversity, inclusion and belonging) focus Friendly environment A lot of internal learning and development courses to help employees to improve soft skills Great brand name on your resume A lot of perks (free food if working from office, annual shutdowns, employee resource groups, WFH funds in 2020)
Cons
I am surprised that there are comments saying the company is with flat structure and non-hierarchical. hierarchical is almost the first thing that came into my mind. Earlier years, LinkedIn hired a lot of execs from more traditional enterprise software and hardware companies like HP, Oracle etc. These leads brought the political and hands off culture from their old workplace to LinkedIn. The other thing that comes with hierarchical is definitely office politics. This can be seen from the top all the way down to the bottom. Career progression is also depending on which side you are on, how powerful your leads are instead of looking at individual work.
