Pros

LinkedIn has a great vision & we're genuine about changing the world. The execution of the vision works as I can see it. Management are aligned with the strategy and are very supportive of the employees personal goals and life. The culture is believed in and works and it helps to have a disruptive product set

Cons

Personally I can't think of much. Targets are high but have been known to move downwards if appropriate - which the first time in a 15yr career that I've seen that happen. People here do work hard but I haven't come across anybody who doesn't enjoy what they do - and work life balance is strongly supported.

Pros

The people The culture The management team The fun The transparency The results! The list is endless. Having worked in many multinationals in my time, I can honestly say that this is the best company I have ever worked at. I love coming to work in the morning - not a statement I've been able to make before I started working here! You do work hard but wow, the return you reap is huge. I can see myself being here for a long, long time.

Cons

Fast paced environment - you really need to think on your feet. But this is actually more of a pro for me and everyone here as you have such a cool opportunity to shape the future of this company.
