Pros

Tons of incredible perks, benefits, time off, autonomy. They are far ahead of the curve when it comes to diversity and inclusion. From the minute you start you'll feel comfortable and valued already. Management genuinely cares about your development and personal goals.

Cons

Tons of meetings, which are very fun but can distract from personal work. Some feel that it's hard to move up very quickly, but that is very situational and depends on many factors.

Pros

AMAZING culture, free full-service cafeteria with 5-star food, free healthcare and stipends to use toward gym memberships, massages, child/pet care, etc... anything you would ever need- LinkedIn has it! They care SO MUCH about their employees and not only spoil us at work, but outside of work too at company events and recognitions. The job itself is also enjoyable- LinkedIn is a very respectable company who helps provide huge ROI to its clients. I feel very passionate about LinkedIn's products, which makes the role itself very rewarding.

Cons

The only con you might have is that all your friends will be jealous you work for the best company ever. :)
