Pros

Free food, prestige of a name company. A good manager can help your career.

Cons

The most toxic and unethical place I’ve ever worked. I feel I have PTSD after working at LinkedIn. For young people only! Ongoing revolving door that keeps paranoia high--no one gives opinions. Constant ageism, gossip, favoritism, aggression, resentment, revenge, and spies. Racism also. They get you when you're young and strong, but stay for your resume and leave before they destroy you. Those who know how to play the hardball game of politics survives this cut throat environment. Soon, it'll only be interns and management.

Pros

Compensation was strong and competitive. The people were genuinely good to work with, and on paper the mission is one you can get behind. Solid brand and a smart, capable workforce.

Cons

Leadership often felt political and opaque. Success was difficult to define clearly, and it frequently seemed like the business quietly picked winners and losers rather than rewarding performance on transparent terms.
