Pros

Best part': Culture that encourages internal mobility & developing your career Senior directors and above are extremely bright and caring people, a rare combination Clear vision and mission, reinforced by CEO Jeff Weiner at bi-weekly all-hands meetings The problems we solve and the work we do every day is engaging and purposeful 95% of the people I've worked with are friendly, open, and reasonable Great perks like free lunch, massages, snacks, T-shirts

Cons

Can never find anything b/c there's no standardized systems Silos, especially in marketing Not enough marketing operations and design resources Quality of middle management is spotty Performance management and promotion process is unclear

Not Perfect, but Pretty Damn Great

Pros

Strong Culture where stated Values are adhered to at almost every level. Exceptions are few and stand out like sore thumbs. Employees are allowed a good amount of autonomy (sometimes manager dependent) and there is a level of trust between Executive Leadership and the individual contributors that I've not seen at any other company I've been at. While it's certainly no longer a start-up, Employees are given mind share to introduce intelligent change into the organization. Great benefits package.

Cons

I second what others have said about career opportunities outside of Global HQ in Mountain View / Sunnyvale. If you want to do something other than Sales, you have a steep uphill battle ahead of you. And anything outside of teams that directly support the Sales Organization is out of the question. LinkedIn is a very Engineer-driven company, so most decisions are made without input from other teams or clients. And most roles outside of Engineering pay below market standards, but this is softened somewhat by an overall strong benefits package. It's a young company, so retirement benefits flat-out suck.
