A great company to work for...

Pros

This company hires smart, friendly and professional people; a diverse group. It's an environment that fosters growth. The company places importance on empowering their employees. In fact, it's part of the mission statement. It's good to know that the company's values align well with my own. The leadership team (including C-level execs) take the time to interact with all of their employees. They encourage their employees to participate and suggest ideas; so, there's plenty of opportunities to make a contribution. Hard work, individual and team efforts are acknowledged. It's a casual and collaborative environment. Dress code = ID badge. Nice. All-company meetings, and team huddles help to keep everyone informed on what's going on across the board. Karma Fun Activities - great way to encourage more fun & social interaction in the workplace. Company encourages other activities outside of work (team sports, etc). Recent changes to the "look" of the office - creates an environment that is more open - encourages interaction and open flow of communication.

Cons

More activities to increase participation and interaction with other offices.

Everything is urgent but nothing is right

Pros

The atmosphere in the office has improved recently and the are some fun office events planned now and again. You can wear almost anything you want. People are very kind.

Cons

Employees do not plan ahead and everything becomes rushed and is done incorrectly because it becomes urgent. The CEO is too scared of Rakuten to make good choices for the company.

Management needs an overhaul

Pros

People are generally nice in the office. LinkShare does offer work/life balance if you have the right manager. There are a lot of employees who do try to make LinkShare a better company.

Cons

Many mangers don't know how to manage. They often delegate work to one to three hardworking team members while allowing others to coast by with little work. Many issues arise from bad decisions made from leaders who don't know what they are doing.
