Excellent place to work at when you want a good work-life balance.

Pros

Its one of the rare places where when the going gets tough, people tend to come together to get over hurdles as opposed to pointing fingers and blaming others.

Cons

Things take a long time to get "done" and accountability for actions and inactions is not measured uniformly across the org. Very typical org, where squeaky wheels tend to get most of the grease.

Pros

The people at LinkedIn are like none other I have worked with! True talent lives within this company and I can't see myself being anywhere else right now!

Cons

LinkedIn 15! There is always a great selection of food at this company, but if you indulge it's not so great for your waistline. However they have a great fitness program so you really don't have an excuse!

Pros

great benefits and perks, really smart people with a ton of enthusiasm about the company and product, entrepreneurial culture, great communication and transparency from senior executives, little turnover, lots of internal mobility

Cons

limited resources can make the job feel overwhelming at times, and you don't have the ability to be as proactive and strategic as you'd like when you have too much on your plate. sales organization has a lot of politics, which makes it tough to advance even if you're a strong performer.
