Pros

For the most part, the people that work at this company are the best you could ask for and they are the only reason you'll want to stay.

Cons

As fun as the fluff reviews have been to read, in my experience they aren't even remotely accurate. Walking into LIN Digital you might think to yourself, "What a fun, hip, Austiny place to work. I bet they drink at their desks and play on the Wii all the time." Let me stop you right there. Starting with salary. If you're looking for a company who will pay you below market value, this is the place for you. No matter what kind of market research you show this company, and how much of a fight you put up, you will not be paid the median of what your salary goes for in Austin. Unless, one of the directors finally gets tired of that place and you're lucky enough to take their position and ride the easy train until you find something better. Don't get your hopes up on that either because they almost always hire from the outside. I also hope that you're a Type A workaholic, because if you enjoy any type of flexibility you will not receive that at LIN Digital. Your hours are 9-6 with a 1 hour lunch break. If you need to leave at 5:55, you better have a good excuse. If you've already interviewed for LIN, and they told you that you would receive training, run away. By training they mean you'll get a login to a website of some sort and you can train yourself. All the while, you'll need to keep up with your work as if you already knew what you were doing. I would not recommend this place to a friend or enemy.

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.
