I work at LinkedIn. Let me be the first one to tell you that it is an amazing place to work at! Everyone is super smart and talented. The infra teams have some really amazing projects under their belt - a lot of which are open sourced. I work on the applications team and I love the culture in our org - everyone is super friendly, helpful and it's a privilege to be working on products that are used by hundreds of millions of people and being able to call shots on them. Also as a relatively inexperienced dev, I'm given ample responsibilities to drive my projects and mould them that I feel are helping me grow. The perks are absolutely amazing - pretty comparable to the ones you get at FB/Google. My favorite ones are $2k reimbursement for fitness related expenses per year, an entire week off during Independence day and Christmas, a day off to yourself and your team each month (search for InDays), and frequent company and team outings (there was a screening for the last Star Wars movie and is another one for Batman vs Superman soon). I'll probably never work for another big company again after this for an entirely different set of reasons, but I am absolutely glad about my decision to join LinkedIn.
