Great Culture, World-Class Leadership

Program manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Exceptional cultural values, inclusion and diversity, global collaboration and teamwork, mentorship, and career growth and learning opportunities. Remarkable balance of corporate and community purpose; company is making profit by helping connect global workforce members with economic opportunities. LinkedIn leadership, from C level to mid-level managers, walk the walk and make sure every employee is there to transform themselves, the company, and the world. To make is simple for reader, I wake up every day to get to work. LinkedIn is the first company in my 18-year professional life where contributing to its success and growth brings me full joy.

Cons

Company's fast growth might dilute some of the great advantages of LinkedIn culture, however to this day it hasn't happened despite even though LinkedIn doubled in size over last 2 years.

Pros

Since starting at LinkedIn about a year ago, I have discovered an amazing community of smart, motivated, and interesting people at LinkedIn. This place has an incredible capacity to help you grow personally and professionally. Basically on day one I was asked by my manager "what do you want to do next, and how can we help you get there?"

Cons

Can't think of any, but know that my concerns would be heard if I had any.
