Pros

It's easy to get in the door because of the unusual location, so qualified applicants are limited Some coworkers are really nice and knowledgable

Cons

I am writing this review specifically because authorship credits on content are being removed for former employees. If you work in content creation as a marketer, technical writer, blogger, etc., you will be able to have your name on the material you create only for as long as you work there. Thankfully I saved all of my work in text files, but I can now no longer link to content that I created at Linode for my portfolio without saying "By the way, Linode has a policy of removing all authorship credit for former employees." Full disclosure - I was offered a much better career opportunity, salary, and work location to leave for an industry rival. When I left it was nothing personal; just the better choice for my career. Now that I see how Linode is treating it's former employees, I'm glad I left when I did. Management has a pattern of being vindictive against former employees.

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.
