Pros

Free food but you can get paid better elsewhere and pay for your own choice of food.

Cons

Company is going through a very trying period of post IPO sustaining mode. Valuable human resources who brought the company to public are not treasured - they are leaving or let go. Replacement resources are filling in ten fold with lower productivity, less capability and no desire to deliver.

-Hostile environment: Bullying and workplace violence. I've personally experienced this as well as others across my organization. -Middle management is unable to manage expectations from executive leadership team resulting in burn out and demoralization of those doing the work on the ground. -Many of the inspiring leaders that built up Linkedin to what it is today have left or will be leaving Linkedin soon. -Very political and hierarchical
