Pros

Manager who is open, transparent and approachable I work with friendly, intelligent people who are willing to help no matter how busy they are I enjoy coming to work and have a laugh every day I'm there I feel that my role is changing the ways companies are doing business Our regular all-hands hosted by Jeff Weiner giving us the low down on everything that's going on in our business (good, bad and even (but rarely) ugly). The free food and free gym (great classes, if a little packed sometimes) LIFG (LinkedIn for Good) I love that our company is doing so much to give back to the community and encourages all employees to get involved in so many great initiatives (e.g. Recruiters for Good, Calling for a Cause, RunIn)

Cons

Long queues on certain days of the week in the (free) restaurant for very popular vendors The LinkedIn stone (or more)...
