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.

Pros

Among the flexible schedule and fantastic free food, the benefit that makes LinkedIn stand out is their commitment to the careers of employees. Career pathing is a regular conversation at all levels on my team and across the company. Standards are high, but the company is committed to helping you get where you want to be. They walk the walk on prioritizing talent.

Cons

The work is high volume and fast-paced. Work-life balance can be evasive at times. But the compensation and benefits make it worthwhile.
