Great reputation as a company Great people Great pay and perks Great ongoing education and experiences to help you learn and grow Great management

As with most companies, processes and alignment of various business units and departments can be improved. The LinkedIn brand, mission, vision, etc. should be marketed more for the world to understand. The LinkedIn name is widely recognized but not initially.
