Pros

Training was really upbeat and motivating ! Most of the people there are really laid back and fun to work with . Good Benifits and pay and free drinks and snacks .

Cons

Time off requests , if you beat everyone to the punch you're fine if not good luck getting the days off you want, even if it's a date far out . I can't speak for everyone else's supervisors , but mine was horrible . The reason I left the company, ignored and dismissed complaints of a coworker harrassing me. Played a huge role in work politics , talked bad about his subordinates and his uppers freely. My work environment was very uncomfortable even more so after I expressed my concerns to my supervisor .

Pros

Freedom to choose solution path and coordinate to accomplish one's goals is something everyone has an opportunity to experience. Micro management is not in the DNA of management at Netflix.

Cons

Choosing wrong or failing to communicate effectively can have career limiting side effects. It is true that one is given the opportunity to fail and learn from those mistakes, but it should not be taken lightly. One has a limited number of silver bullets that can be spent on mistakes.

Pros

Incredibly smart people. You'll work alongside PhD statisticians and data scientists. Everyone, including IT, are incredibly good at their job. It really pushes me to be the best I can be. There is almost no politics. Everyone does what's best, generally. No vacation policy (a good thing), no expense report BS. You're treated like an adult. Work/life balance is pretty good (40-45 hours a week), but you've got to be your own advocate. Extremely high salary

Cons

Ramp-up process is a bit harsh. Some encouragement early on would've been useful and also some reinforcement that I wouldn't be fired. The pace is incredibly quick. That can be a pro or a con, depending on your style.
