Pros

LinkedIn - great place, open source friendly, great people, latest top technologies in IT/Web industry, diverse ideas, friendly culture and finally the most importnat thing to an Employee, the satisfaction. LinkedIn is the best environment for those 'open source/Linux enthusiast' kind people. I am a that kind of person.

Pros

- You learn thousands of things everyday - Great food, and for free - Amazing environment, working with talented people willing to improve processes and procedures - You feel like someone actually listen to your ideas and you can collaborate in making the company grow even more and more - Career opportunities, both vertically and horizontally

Cons

- The fact that it feels like a start-up still sometimes, and it's growing in a really fast pace could be a con some days, when you're overloaded with work. But this sort of things make you stronger and learn even more on a daily basis. Not for those who are used to not challenging or quick-changing work environments.

Business Outlook

Pros

Open environment, still has a 'start-up' feel (at least in Europe), company is in hyper-growth which creates a wealth of opportunities for employees. Pay and benefits are very competitive in the market. Casual, fun feel - though people work hard. Great collaboration compared to other companies I have worked in.

Cons

It's pressurised, and expectations are high. So you need to be good at what you do to shine.
