Pros
LinkedIn is well respected externally (analysts, partners, members) which helps sales and marketing efforts. The leadership team is attempting to solve large economic challenges which makes for solid employee motivation and corporate vision.
Cons
LinkedIn is still searching for its overarching brand and identity which leads to confusion of purpose within some business units. Also, with rapid hiring over the last few years LinkedIn really had the opportunity to diversify its mix of leaders and employees vs 'more of the same' backgrounds that were hired or promoted. It's difficult to innovate without fresh perspectives.
