Pros

It's easy to get in the door because of the unusual location, so qualified applicants are limited Some coworkers are really nice and knowledgable

Cons

I am writing this review specifically because authorship credits on content are being removed for former employees. If you work in content creation as a marketer, technical writer, blogger, etc., you will be able to have your name on the material you create only for as long as you work there. Thankfully I saved all of my work in text files, but I can now no longer link to content that I created at Linode for my portfolio without saying "By the way, Linode has a policy of removing all authorship credit for former employees." Full disclosure - I was offered a much better career opportunity, salary, and work location to leave for an industry rival. When I left it was nothing personal; just the better choice for my career. Now that I see how Linode is treating it's former employees, I'm glad I left when I did. Management has a pattern of being vindictive against former employees.

None, honestly. It was a great place to start in compute support with no previous experience.
