Pros

Very positive entrepreneurial spirit. Many practical opportunities to share and work on innovative ideas. Encouraged and supported to pursue your dream job. Cynicism and disbelief are out of place here.

Cons

If you like to be told what to do, thrive on structure, and are not very motivated to bring ideas to the table this is probably not a place you'll enjoy working.

Pros

-We are a high growth company who still lives by the values of a start-up. As a result we innovate quickly but strategically while remaining focused and collaborative across the organization. -LinkedIn lives by its culture and values on a daily basis - they are ingrained in its employees. -LinkedIn also offers a combination of really, really smart people in a young, relatively laid back environment. Our CEO defines happiness as loving coming to work every day, and loving going home at night, and that sentiment echos throughout the entire organization. Work-life balance is extremely valued here. And the benefits are the best I've had at any company!

Cons

-We are still a start-up, just a really big one. If you are defined by absolute structure and don't like change or innovation, this is probably not the place for you.
