Pros

The opportunity in front of LinkedIn is phenomenal, and to be a part of that is a wonderful feeling. We have experienced tremendous growth and change in the last few years and yet we are only just scratching the surface of the business and professional challenges that LinkedIn can help with.

Cons

We are a fast growing company and sometimes we don't get things exactly right. Things that you might expect as a given get addressed a bit later than you would have wanted, as some parts of the business race to catch up with other parts.
