Pros

Fully catered breakfast & lunch, including snacks, drinks and alcohol on fridays Great benefits, tones of leave, health insurance etc. Get in if you’re young, they’ll train you up but they won’t teach you everything

Cons

Do not go near this place with a ten foot pole if you have any experience or expertise in your chosen field. They take ‘em young and suckle them on the big teet of the Linkedin coolade machine. The average age is 27yrs!! They’ll have a complete disregard for your value and slot you right into their cookie cutter mould, it’s the Linkedin Way or the highway. Their sales motion is unsophisticated and transactional, their methodology being Spray & Pray and Quantity over Quality. Favouritism is rife.

Pros

- Fantastic Benefits (matching 401k, comprehensive health/dental/vision, Crossover Health partnership so you can easily make your appointments, $2000 "Perk Up" benefit to be used on child care, pet care, gym, or massages) - Workplace Perks (onsite coffee bar, multiple cafeterias, amazing chefs, gym + exercise classes, great facilities, snacks/drinks/fruit/etc) - Commuter Benefits (free CalTrain pass, shuttles) - Flexible work schedule -- a lot of managers do not sit in your office (obviously, depends on the organization you are in) so they are flexible about WFH as long as you are performing your job - Salary is decent (not the most competitive or the highest.... but it's offset by all the perks you get from the company)

Cons

- For a company that is in the talent business - helping people find jobs -we are really bad about internal movement to different organizations/roles. It's extremely difficult, and there is no bias towards internal candidates. They essentially want someone who already has done the job vs looking at transferable skills and keeping talent at LinkedIn. It's a real bummer, as this is a key reason why great talent have left LinkedIn to pursue their dream job at competitor companies that were willing to "take a chance" on them. - A lot of "high performers"/"high achievers" have left the company, so the leftover employees are mostly there just to do their job and go home. Not that this is necessarily a CON - but just something to point out. If you are looking to really learn and grow - fast - this is not the place for you. Most folks are here to do their job, do it well, and then leave. - Microsoft acquisition is slowly starting to creep in....
