I'm a little dismayed that someone would be willing to make use those factors and then claim it's about the best place to work. It's so obviously off point that I can't even buy that it's the result of stupidity - the blog post is consciously dishonest. I know that that's pretty much the norm in blogs/reporting, but I'd really like to see this sort of behavior discouraged. LinkedIn in particular has a lot of practices that seem particularly skeezy to me. I'm not sure exactly what should be done about this sort of thing, but at the least I want to draw as much attention to it as possible.
