Avantages

Free (and generally great) food. Smart colleagues. Lots of mandatory fun events like a company wide chili cook off and team offsites.

Inconvénients

There is a lot of implicit bias at LinkedIn. The gender ratio is pretty balanced at low levels, but the opportunities for growth are still limited to a boys club. One effect of this is that I have never seen anyone in the product management or product marketing orgs have a good return from maternity leave. When these women come back, they are put into less visible and less interesting roles...or in one recent case, pushed out of the company within a year of coming back. These are capable women who are seen as non capable by the senior leaders the minute they announce their pregnancies. As a true example, when I announced my pregnancy to my vp he replied "congratulations... I think." There is a lot of lip service around the length of leave and benefits to new parents, but the biggest benefit is to go back to a job that you care about and...I haven't seen that happen.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.
