Business Outlook

Pros

Linkedin has an amazing NCG program. Recent grads will benefit from their onboarding resources and "Startin" program. My team is excellent. The average age is very low (~25), and the work environment is relaxed but driven. Linkedin is extremely focused on career growth. My second one on one was all about how to start on the promotion track and grow as a dev.

Cons

Poor work/life balance. There is pressure to work long hours, not necessarily because the company expects it, but because everyone else does.
