Pros

Great work-life-balance. Nice coworkers. Good training. Care about employees and customers.

Cons

Not much incentive to work here longer than a couple years. The bootstrapping of Linode, although something I can respect the founder for, doesn't benefit employees at all. It just benefits the near-billionaire sole owner. Better to work somewhere in tech that gives you shares of publicly traded stock so you can retire 10-20 years sooner. Unless you enjoy being a pawn for 5+ years.

Pros

Free food and soda, unlimited pto, 2.5x overtime pay, education reimbursement, paid MacBook, paid relocation, housing assistance

Cons

Poor training, punished for leaving office at end of shift improperly without any lockdown procedure training. Reported security concern but fired for not reporting it properly, although it was reported to the security team. Promised promotion after 1 year and management ignored me following up on that. If you work there and leave a bad review on here they threaten your employment unless you remove the review. Mansgement call people sex offenders without proof.
