Best company in the valley, after many years

Pros

CEO - Jeff Weiner is far and away the best CEO of companies I've worked at or know about. He is driven, pushes his team for the best, and is also compassionate and balanced. Great Culture - InDays (one day a month off your normal job to hack, volunteer, learn something new, etc), Band Room for musicians, Pinball, Pool, Foosball, Ping Pong, Gym, engineering ski trip, etc, etc. Super smart people - high bar for talent. So you get to work with great people. Company doing extremely well - metrics up and to the right. Three revenue streams. Little in way of direct competition.

Cons

Company has grown and continues to grow very quickly, so if you don't do well in an environment of change, you won't do well here.

Pros

Fantastic career progression and opportunities to move across the company into different teams or regions. Great leadership who know where the company is going, are completely transparent and truly care about a work life balance for their teams.

Cons

Employer brand needs to be worked on as this is a great and fun company to work and I don't think it is communicated enough to people outside LinkedIn

Pros

Very rarely do you get the opportunity to work with such smart and passionate people. LinkedIn has a great foundation for culture and values and our sales team 100% supports those while selling a revolutionary product.

Cons

Only con would be that since we've been growing so fast, our administrative departments are pretty stretched. This can cause frustrations in your day-to-day job but is significantly outweighed by all the positives that happen.
