Pros
- CEO: Clear captain leading the ship. You always feel like you are in great hands - Transparency/Communication: The CEO has town hall meetings regularly and encourages participation. No excuse to ever feel like you are "out of the loop" - Culture: The work culture is the best I've ever been a part of. Majority of the people truly love working there. And a lot of folks have "buyer's remorse" when they leave - People: Smartest group of people I've ever worked with from top to bottom. - Perks/Benefits: These are amazing as well. I still brag to this day about the gourmet cafeteria, snacks, events, free transportation, and benefits that will keep you on campus.
Cons
One thing I learned about being at LinkedIn is that no one is perfect and they value constructive criticism, so here it goes: Lots of "Type A" personalities that are engaging in healthy competition. Some of the "quieter" folks who put their head down and do the work often don't get the credit they deserve.
