Pros

Really fortunate to be working for a company whose mission is to create economic opportunity for every professional in the world to make them more productive and successful. You can have your dream job at LinkedIn - whatever you are passionate about, we want to help you achieve it. Jeff Weiner and the executive leadership team has done a phenomenal job in creating a collaborative, open, and honest culture.

Cons

Growing rapidly so they are implementing more HR proesses in place.

Best corporate workplace imaginable.

Pros

As far as the corporate world goes, I cannot imagine a better work environment. Smart, passionate people, but without the arrogance and entitlement that exists at some other high-profile Silicon Valley companies. The example is set all the way from the top. Jeff Weiner is a world-class leader and is truly leading the way for the future of corporate leadership. 20th century models are no longer relevant. Instead, he preaches "managing with compassion" and "conscious business," blending Western business pragmatism with Eastern philosophy. If you want to come to work inspired, this is the place.

Cons

Not many that I can think of.

Pros

Everyone's incredibly friendly and helpful and there's never a dull moment.

Cons

Too much fun...? There are few cons at LinkedIn...only one of which I can think of now and that's too many free snacks to nibble on unnecessarily.
