LinkedIn is what you make of it

Pros

Awesome company, but the cultural of LinkedIn is not for everyone -- just like any company . They look for innovative people who are not just waiting for their next step, but creating it. The ability to transform your career and passions to a job you love, is incredible. I love having a direct influence on my career path. There isn't a right or wrong way to move in the direction you want to go with LinkedIn. It isn't a ladder you are trying to move up. It is a staircase with many floors. You choose where you want to go.

Cons

Some employees don't get it. You influence your path and management is their to guide you and support you, but not hold your hand.

Pros

free food, company phone that you can use for personal calls also

Cons

They want all their employees to be brainwashed so that they can seem enthusiastic at all times but without having an actual opinion of their own. They need robots not people with ideas. They ask continuous overtime even though they do not pay the extra hours worked every day!

Best Company That I Ever Worked For

Pros

I started with LinkedIn fairly early on in the sales division so to be there during a huge growth phase was a great experience. Management was very fair, agressive and ambitious and made sure that new hires fit very well into the sales culture. It was a fun time to work there, built great relationships and enjoyed myself tremendously.

Cons

That was then and this is now. The sales division is huge and you cannot keep the same culture. That's understandable as the company grows, but LinkedIn will continue to lose good people that have tenture there. If "out with the old and in with the new" is the current mantra, then they're abiding by it very well.
