Pros

Excellent benefits. 50% 401k match up to federal limit, so if you contribute 18k LinkedIn will put in 9k with 100% vested immediately. 100% of all medical, dental, vision, etc. premiums covered by LinkedIn. Free breakfast and lunch every day and dinner 4 days a week. $2000 a year to use for child care, pet care, personal trainer, massages, tennis lessons, etc. Lots of smart people.

Cons

The development tools can be pretty terrible. The leadership for the Tools Engineering org is pretty bad. Many days have been wasted fiddling with some of the development tools. There is also an unhealthy obsession with building things from scratch as opposed to just using the open source versions. There are some things that are being built that we clearly do not have expertise in and which have excellent open source versions.

Pros

Good perks and culture. Most managers allow you to be an adult and give you autonomy.

Cons

Office politics, certain people are groomed to be managers from get-go and hard to get your name in the ring if you aren't one of them. Getting to big for it's britches - super stringent sales "plan" policy - getting rid of great talent rather than giving them proper attention and training

Pros

The company culture is fantastic, the work is interesting, and the benefits are unreal.

Cons

The company has grown fast and will probably continue to. That means constant change to everything.
