Pros

I like the open culture at LinkedIn. Employees are treated like adults. You are empowered to make your own decisions without constantly having to seek approval.

Cons

If you are not in the Mountain View headquarter you will most likely work in sales or sales support. There is no real opportunity for transformation outside of sales.

Pros

Best place to learn, grow and flourish. Senior leaders behave like team members, and there is no sense of hierarchy, just a group of people coming together to do the best job and their best!

Cons

If you are a 'status quo' type of person, you may find it difficult to adapt. LinkedIn is a place where ideas are created.
