Vantaggi
Like other online companies in Dublin they offer free lunch, healthcare and stock option. The brand is well recognized so good name to have on your CV.
Svantaggi
Management in Dublin are all into the culture of the company and want all employees to enthusiastic at all times but without having an actual opinion of their own. The culture in Dublin is all about using the corporate buzzwords, make sure that you words like "transformational", "billion dollar startup", "ownership" or "culture", creating a environment where well connected employees become spoiled and think they are the best of the best, but probably would not be successful in another major company. Success and promotion is more based on who you know and who likes you then any sound business logic. This may be because middle management is very inexperienced, from what I could see most are promoted into role and still trying to learn how to be managers and preferences to support their "friends" then make hard business choices. Linkedin is by far the most political environment that I've ever witnessed, manager is always involved in internal fights, instead of working towards one goal they fight for political power. Everyone smiles and says they are your friends by they are looking out for themselves. Making many of the sales people very unhappy but afraid to voice concerns in fear of their jobs. Compared to hiring standards and creative thinking in other online companies in Dublin, Linkedin is more close minded, managers are inexperienced and staff only looking to get a the brand name on their CV before moving on. Not a good place for people with with ideas of growing..
