Pros

The company culture is great. So collaborative and everyone truly works toward the same "big picture "goal.

Cons

It is still a start up, despite being 10 years old. There is definitely still a scrappy feel around processes and HR, but they are working on things & its never THAT big of an issue.

Pros

Facilities provided here are better than what I could even imagine. Great gym, free food, lots of books, health and wellness. Other companies talk about culture and how it is important to their organisation etc. LinkedIn lives by it's culture. People are most important and they chosen based on their expertise AND that they will be a cultural fit. It's an amazing place!! Our CEO is one of the most influential people I've had the please of hearing speak. The man is a huge asset to our company!

Cons

Air conditioning isn't great and because we are growing so quickly we are quickly running out of space (but we are planning on moving in the next 2 years)
