Pros

All the perks of competing firms (Google, FB) in a smaller company, which means you have a larger impact. Great work life balance and many very smart people. Many problems to be solved as LinkedIn continues to expand faster and faster.

Cons

With all the recruiting going on, interviewing can start to take a good chunk of your time.
