Pros

Everyone is incredibly sharp. LinkedIn is at a great place where it can be selective and attract very smart people, but it doesn't have the arrogance in its culture that is commonplace at Google. I think a lot of this has to do with the company's leaders. There is not doubt that LinkedIn leadership wants to hire smart people, but the culture fit aspect is just as important. I also think our leadership team does a great job of keeping everyone excited about our mission. Connecting the world's professionals to make them more productive and successful is a pretty cool cause to get behind.

Cons

Every stranger you meet has an opinion about what LinkedIn should be doing with its product strategy and is more than willing to lecture you about it once they find out you work there. It's not that I don't care, I just have zero input to product strategy and don't like being attacked when someone doesn't like a new feature.
