A dynamic, collaborative place that feels like a big startup. Everyone acts like an owner.

Pros

Strength of business model provides a sense of stability, but the culture is hack, open, and envelope-pushing. No one knows where the next great idea is going to come from, so everything is on the table. Bi-weekly company all-hands is amazing -- execs give updates on every critical piece of the business and answer anything employees want to know! It's more than just a great gesture. Oh, and the cafe ROCKS.

Cons

Communication across teams could be a little better, but lots of structures in place to address that.

Pros

People are amazing and highly talented, the best I have worked with within media over the past 10 years.

Everyone is quality, therefore what made you stand out easily before in other companies is the normal at LinkedIn.
