Pros

Great product, great benefits, lots of potential to be a great workplace. When you first join LinkedIn you feel like you won the lottery because everyone is nice and you have good perks.

Cons

For sales: really bad senior leadership across most of the organizations due to hyper growth and inexperienced leaders getting promoted too quickly. On the surface the culture seems great. But the longer you stay, the more you realize that most people are stressed and unhappy and it takes you a while to realize that you’re extremely stressed and unhappy too. Frequent and pervasive comp mistakes.

Pros

Great facilities, culture & social aspect. Location can be a benefit. Company has growth strong, and career progression is very possible with little effort. Some say they have won the career lottery with LinkedIn - personally don't share that sentiment.

Cons

Little accountability and too many talk a great game with little to no action. the infamous LinkedIn Culture is more cult like than culture - long time employees have their own translation on what the culture should be. Dossers love LinkedIn, quote the culture to justify low performance and say they won the career lottery, which is true.... for them. High achievers leave LinkedIn as not enough to keep the motivated. Looks great to have LinkedIn on your CV, would be very concerned with the quality of employees leaving to other companies.

Pros

Free food which includes breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as fully stocked kitchens; gym, yoga, massages which you can get reimbursed for (not 100% due to taxes).

Cons

Sexism and inappropriate behavior of managers have created a toxic environment for women. Even when escalated to HR, nothing will change as HR only tries for the person who made the claim to go away. The advice from HR consisted of finding a new job. An outreach to the Women in Tech initiative for help was ignored as it appears this initiative is only about the photo ops. The further down you go the more toxic the work environment becomes. A lot of good people have left because lower and middle management consist of managers that should not be in management.
