Pros

we get to create and build a special company that is changing the world - the way the world recruits and connect talent to opportunity at massive scale. People here are great. Very bright and very passionate. People at LinkedIn want to win and be the best. We have many opportunities to be creative and contribute to the company

Cons

As you would expect in a start-up, things are very busy and there are long hours required to build something special. It can get tiring at times.

Great Company, Incredible Vision, Outstanding Culture

Business Outlook

Pros

Good Management and amazing people to work with. Truly lived company culture based on Leadership, Leverage and Results. 2012 was a "lift off" year with incredible hypergrowth. (Inevitably the next few months / years will see crazy hiring going flat). Still it is a company that is revolutionary for an entire industry (Hiring, Talent management etc). You will have the opportunity to grow internally.

Cons

You need to be a self starter. Short lived poor performers. Sometimes crazy hiring will drive to the wrong person in the wrong position.
