LinkedIn has transformed my professional career, and me as a person

Pros

The company is incredible. We've grown so quickly and yet not lost the energy of being a startup. The people are incredible. Perhaps most importantly, I love our vision of creating economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce. Talk about changing the world! We have so much ahead of us.

Cons

As we grow, we're starting to be physically spread across the bay area, with offices in SF, Sunnyvale, and Mountain view. I wish we were still in just 1 or 2 locations.

Positive environment, inspiring leadership, and a brilliant engineering team

Pros

This is honestly the best place I've ever worked at. The morale is high, everyone is willing to help, we're all marching in the same direction, the vision is clear, and both the financial and non-financial incentives/perks are far beyond any other tech company. It's really hard to say anything bad about LinkedIn, it's a fantastic place to work!

Cons

The one thing that's scary is the massive growth phase the company is currently undergoing. Things are great now but it's possible it could all fall apart if we don't take proactive efforts to maintain culture and environment.
