Pros

The people at LIN (at the individual contributor level) are some of the nicest and brightest people I have had the pleasure of working with. Young, but hungry to do good work. The management team has done a great job convincing talent to take a chance on this company, and the individual contributors are what make the culture at LIN a big positive.

Cons

LIN Digital's parent company has gone through multiple rounds of acquisition over the last few years. This has resulted in lack of clear direction and vision for 1) their product offerings and 2) what that means for employee’s futures. Promises of transparency regarding this future and vision go unfulfilled. There have been several poorly-planned layoffs in the last couple of years resulting in an increase in work output expectations with fewer resources and no direction on how to achieve the expectations set. There is a lot of confusion that never really gets resolved. Another sad but regular practice undertaken by LIN is to lie to clients about what they are buying. They frequently “re-word” or “re-brand” parts of their product offering in order to deceive on the true deliverable and instead provide a lower-quality, cheaper cost product.

Pros

The company is empowering its team to contribute and help us achieve success. Company culture is inclusive, collaborative, team driven. THE people make it worthwhile, we hire the best and brightest. We have proprietary tech, support, and buy-in from the executive team.

Cons

Like any other digital company, there is always room for improvement. It is super fast paced, those unable to pivot and deal with change need not apply. Can be very deadline driven - work & life balance could improve.
