Pros

I have a pretty unique role at LinkedIn and am constantly presented with creative opportunities that someone in my position likely wouldn't have at another tech company. It's great to be able to come in each day and not dread "the daily grind" but be motivated to tackle a new project.

Cons

The open cube design can make it a challenge to focus at times but it's manageable.
