Pros

- LinkedIn truly values its employees. From the renovated cafe to the gym classes to the speaker series to the hackathons...the list goes on and on. - Fantastic culture. We have an intense culture but everyone is here to help each other succeed and deliver a great experience to our members.

Cons

- As the company grows, some "big company" processes are starting to be introduced but that's to be expected.

Pros

Culture, culture and once again, culture. People who work here love what they do. People who complain all the time don't last. Leadership is inspirational. LinkedIn really looks after me - from free lunches through health and dental insurance to inspirational speakers. Couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Cons

Nothing I can think of at the moment. It can get fairly intense if you let it but it's all a matter of being able to stay well-organized and prioritisation.
