Pros

The monthly activities to help employees lead a balanced lifestyle of work and play! There are also weekly activities on Friday to make sure employees have fun after a hard week's of work.

Cons

Very fast paced so have to try and keep up. Not many cons. Almost a year and the work is still exciting.

Pros

The team at LinkedIn, from CEO down, are all working towards a larger common goal. The multiple business lines keeps life interesting, and strengthens our business model. The talent is of high quality and getting even better. Leadership is very transparent and approachable to all levels.

Cons

Lots to do, and a relatively small set of people to do it.

Pros

I joined LinkedIn late last year and it is my first time working in a multi-national company. Brilliant people who share the same missiona and vision. It is fast paced and it is something I thoroughly enjoy but like everything else, it is not for everyone. If you are looking to make a clear difference and learn from some of the brightest professional's around then LinkedIn is very much an opportunity to consider. Each day is different and it has been a fantastic experience so far.

Cons

As I said, it is not for everyone. It is a hands on role and you are given a lot of responsibility from the outset. Because the business is growing the rate that it is there is no micro-management and this can be scary for some people. If you excel in making your job your own then again this is a great company whith a lot of potential.
