Exciting, fast-paced career transformation hub. Loving every day here!

Anonymous employee

Pros

Culture, culture and once again, culture. People who work here love what they do. People who complain all the time don't last. Leadership is inspirational. LinkedIn really looks after me - from free lunches through health and dental insurance to inspirational speakers. Couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Cons

Nothing I can think of at the moment. It can get fairly intense if you let it but it's all a matter of being able to stay well-organized and prioritisation.

Pros

Besides the Culture, Food, Environment, Social, Atmosphere, Gym and all the other add ons it's simply a company that will drive and allow you to be the best you can be at what you do. Then if you decide you want to try something else within LinkedIn the opportunity is there to carve a new career path

Cons

Everyone nagging you to get them a job here!

Great strategy, a little slow moving

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of talented people, working on something worthwhile, some great technology. One of the most important companies in Silicon Valley. Has gotten better at decision making over the years.

Cons

Slower moving than many of their peers, more bureaucratic than they need to be, often not pushing the envelope in terms of product. Sometimes implementing too many copycat features.
