Pros

Highly talent people to learn from, fast paced, open & flexible environment, transparency, teamwork. These people are smart AND kind, its amazing. Love coming to work, really feel like my role matters within the organization.

Cons

Open areas and sales environment can sometimes lead to noisy spaces, but with wireless headsets its easy to move away to continue your call in quiet if necessary. Same with Ping Pong, minor ping pong addictions are real.

Pros

Dan Pink said that Autonomy and Mastery are the motivators for ground breaking success . At LinkedIn this is exactly what you get - the ability to be self directed and act like an owner

Cons

Since the teams are distributed sometimes it can lead to mis communication. But this is true for any global company in the market today
