Pros

Focus on the values and cultures that help shapes the amazing culture at LinkedIn. Perks to ensure culture remains include on-site on-boarding training and consistent all-hands that helps communication. Management is also very carefully selected which means a genuine calibre of managers who can help you grow and work together in teams as leaders instead of managers.

Cons

As the company grows bigger, much needs to be thought through in terms of global engagement (business or employee relations)
