Pros

Our leaders are transformational. Our employees are inspirational. The best reasons to work at LinkedIn lies beyond the 'cool factor', of which there are many, and extends to our vision to create economic opportunity for every professional in the world. LinkedIn is an extraordinary environment enabling employees to exercise their true talent and pave the way in changing the world of work. We have only scratched the surface through professional networking - our greater impact lies in the power of fractal energy on a global scale...cultivating jobs, creating opportunity, making the world a greater place.

Cons

Patience is a virtue that must be realized by employees and leaders. When an organization evolves as rapidly as LinkedIn, there is a kaleidoscope brought about by previous experiences and current expectations. Creating the much needed infrastructure is happening. This platform will take us to the next level but we must exercise a degree of patience. Rome wasn't built in a day. LinkedIn is rapidly evolving but not as quick as the blink of an eye - that too would be a mistake...one minute we are there, the next minute we are not. Balance and patience my friends.
