Not bad, good perks
GLOBAL CONTRACTS MANAGER (Current Employee) – Sunnyvale, CA – August 13, 2018
Free meals, bikes, gyms and gym reimbursement. The wrong people get promoted time after time and poor decision making on the promotions make it hard to keep working here.
Political mine field
Data Engineer (Former Employee) – Sunnyvale – August 7, 2018
The company was filled with ex-contractors from Apple and they treat as if you are an unwelcome entity. My manager was Asian guy who has zero respect for senior consultants like me. Your suggestions and ideas do not matter as you should do what an FTE employee tells you, even if your suggestions/ideas were to improve the quality of the product. Day in and out you were treated with disrespect. I worked in other companies like Facebook, HP etc and I was treated with respect. My manager was micro-managing me and criticizing is the only thing he excels in doing. Zero appreciation from any quarters. Good that it ended soon and I am back to where I loved to work
Pros
Free lunches and close to my home
Cons
Peers who are 95% Asians

Fixed Asset Accountant (Current Employee) – Sunnyvale, CA – July 24, 2018
LinkedIn is a great company with many nice professionals who are willing to help at any time. They provide free breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They also have many online training classes to take for free.
Pros
Free Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

Nothing negative
Great place to work at
Procurement Analyst (Current Employee) – Sunnyvale, CA – July 23, 2018
Worked as a contractor. Great place to work at. Free food, snacks, and drinks. Contractors are treated fair unlike other big companies. I highly recommend working at LinkedIn.
Great learning experience with industry leaders who inspire young talent.
Systems Engineer Intern (Current Employee) – Sunnyvale, CA – July 22, 2018
I was fortunate to be part of this wonderful company, whose business actually helps improve the lives of people around the world. As a Systems Engineer Intern at LinkedIn, I was part of Compute Engineering team. I had the chance to learn and understand how LinkedIn operates with its Data Centers around the world. I had a wonderful mentor who would help me understand my job well. I also had a visionary manager whose intentions actually inspired me to work more passionately. My typical day would include, writing python scripts for an application development, weekly meetings with mentor or manager or the entire team. The encouragement I received, never made me think I had a hard job and I enjoyed every part of my time as an intern here. One thing that LinkedIn taught me is that to build strong relationships.
Pros
Free breakfasts, lunches and dinner too.

Everything you need to get great work done
Contract UX Designer (Former Employee) – Mountain View, CA – June 25, 2018
All the processes at LinkedIn were really well thought through, so I experienced zero barriers to doing the best work of my life. I think toward the end of my time there, there was concern about the lack of quickness in my work, which is a shame, because things should be more about quality than about quantity. They were pressuring me to work 10-hour days, and I had a 2-hour commute. But it is a business after all.
My division used an agile development process with mandatory daily standups, so it was hard to come up with enough things to justify the day's work. Other agile departments make daily attendance optional, so you can work on things as needed, and seek out updates as needed.

Work Summary
Main Cook (Current Employee) – Mountain View, CA – June 10, 2018
The most enjoyable thing is that its a 8 hours shift and under management all the team members work simultaneously and enjoy our work and we are praised for what we cook. I like when the employee praise my food.
Management is awesome. I got off when there is public holiday. Uniform is another plus. Dental vision and other insurance is included. No stress at job.
Over all its a five star. I bought a house in Manteca, so i need a job around there.

Director, Solutions Sales, Americas (Current Employee) – New York, NY – June 7, 2018
Great culture which makes the day to day a lot of fun. Company is going through a transition from hyper growth to stable growth and is trying to find its identity as it goes from disruptor to incumbent
Linkedin had great benefits
HR Operations Analyst (Current Employee) – Mountain View, CA – May 20, 2018
Linkedin had great and smart employees to work with. The work was documented so you were set up to succeed. Management cared about you and cared about your career growth.
Amazing place to work
Consumer Support Specialist (Current Employee) – Omaha, NE – May 18, 2018
Upon hearing about this position, I expected it to be another typical customer service position -- boring office culture, drab building, poor interactions with customers.
My opinion was completely turned on its head.
The culture is amazing, with great benefits, and a great work environment. I am eternally grateful I had the opportunity to realize that even a customer support position can prove to be a worthwhile and meaningful job.

Fun place to work; problems with management
GLOBAL BRAND MARKETING MANAGER (Current Employee) – San Francisco, CA – February 19, 2018
Excellent benefits and some great people to work with; lack of career growth due to poor management; constant turn over results in a repetitive and uninspired culture, but the benefits (gym, free breakfast and lunch, unlimited time off) help to make up for downfalls in management
Pros
Great health benefits, free food, unlimited vacation
Cons
Management, lack of transparency
