Pros

1. Very positive culture from the top down. 2. Good sales enablement/development program. 3. Impressive product knowledge program. 4. Nice benefits and perks. 5. Colleagues are very collaborative and 'competition' is relatively non-existent. 6. You're rewarded or penalized based upon your Leadership, Leverage, Results. Honestly, I am not sure how well this works for evaluations, as your Leadership and Leverage 'contribution' is very much up to the 'perception' of your manager. So this falls in the Pros and Cons boxes.

Cons

1. Promotion path is political. 2. Sales quotas are aggressive. 3. Hiring process can be frustrating to outsiders (i.e. candidates trying to get into LinkedIn). It is extremely hard to get hired by LinkedIn, super competitive. LinkedIn is extremely thorough in their hiring process and many candidates are not prepared for how long and disjointed the hiring process can be. Be patient, yet proactive (recruiters have been known to forget to follow up with candidates regarding 'Yes or No'). 4. You're rewarded or penalized based upon your Leadership, Leverage, Results. Honestly, I am not sure how well this works for evaluations, as your Leadership and Leverage 'contribution' is very much up to the 'perception' of your manager. So this falls in the Pros and Cons boxes.

Pros

Super nice offices Don’t really need to work, just need to be able to talk well and present yourself to be Super important Embrace the culture, which is way more important than actual work Super Low quota if you’re in sales

Cons

No real future. Company is not really making money. Employees are spoilt to an extent that I’m not sure if they still can do real work when they leave Company doesn’t measure margin when I left, only future money based on some unbelievable forecasts..
