Pros

LinkedIn continues to surprise me each and every day I come to work. When the number one operating priority is to build a world class team, you know that they "get it". Every decision goes back to attracting and keeping the best talent, and shockingly, the company has and is very successful. The Silicon Vally perks are abundant but it really allows to focus on our work and innovation and not really have to worry about anything else.

Cons

The commute is a bit long but a nice bus makes up for it.
