Pros

Great perks and competitive salary.

Cons

It’s the only place I’ve worked (in a 20+ year career) where people regularly took time off (sometimes months) for work-related mental health issues. Endemic racism and bullying.

Pros

Outside of the high school drama, Great benefits and pay.

Cons

Get in good with the Clicks, if you are not friends with the people around you they will turn on you. False accusations, false HR reports and management will not listen to what you have to say so good luck.

Great company, unless you have a disability

Pros

LinkedIn has a lot of focus on the employee experience, meaning there's heavy emphasis on culture and values. Because they really try and enforce their 'no ahole' policy, you work with a truly great group of people

Cons

There are no employees with a visible disability working in any of the LinkedIn EMEA offices (or San Francisco, Toronto, Chicago, New York, Sao Paolo for that matter). When I tried to give feedback and get the employee resource group to be more active, I was told by HR "disabilities are not a priority for LinkedIn" and I was qualified as 'difficult'. Every time I now see Pat Wadors give a speech on the importance of 'Diversity, inclusion and belonging', I crinch, because what she means is Belonging for those groups that are a priority. I was one of LinkedIn's biggest advocates and loved working there. I left incredibly disappointed!
