Pros

Company culture overall is great. A lot of great employee perks. Food is amazing, and wellness program is one of the best in the valley. The company does care a lot overall about the wellness of their employees.

Cons

Individual teams can become toxic. Since Microsoft acquisition, mid managers have become power hungry and annoyingly political (something that i've seen change over the 3+ years i've been here). Managers are getting promoted NOT based on how much their team likes team, or how much they contributed, but on how much leadership likes them.

Pros

- Great perks and benefits - wellness program is fantastic - Investment Day - Catered breakfast / lunch - Work with some truly smart people - Good work is rewarded - Prime office location

Cons

- Mediocre and immature middle management, full of unconscious bias, little empathy, uninspiring - No room to progress, flat structure - Not high on diversity, inclusion and belonging conditional - you must fit in. People who do fit in are rewarded, those who don't are sidelined. Too much pressure to be 'authentic' - comes across as the opposite. - Shiny on the surface, bad politics beneath the surface - Too many distractions - Very hierarchal

Pros

When I started at LinkedIn I found myself surrounded by some of the brightest, most collegial people I've ever worked with. Perks were amazing.

Cons

Through the course of my time there I saw a notable shift from 'team-centric' to an overly politicized environment which truly felt hostile in the end. C-Level management appears approachable, but when interacted with directly I realized that the 'approachable' appearance was largely just that--appearance. I started out a true believer in the brand and in the end was disappointed.
