      Reliability Engineering, Mostly Good

      Pros

      Worked with some of the best engineers in the world across all engineering business units. Plenty of interesting and important work everywhere you look. Learned an incredible amount about service oriented architectures in practice. Lots of swag and fun events with your coworkers.

      Cons

      If you have a wife or kids, and you like them a lot, this may not be the job for you because there is no follow-the-sun or other strategy to mitigate painful on-call rotations. Reliability Engineering was treated more like an outside consultant that would manage and review incidents with minimal depth into any business unit. Being a mostly Python shop, we were black sheep to the Java developers in Product Engineering.

      Pros

      - The company has amazing work culture. They encourage personal responsibility, so you're allowed to work the way you like to work as long as work is getting done. - All teams appear to be very clear and transparent with regards to strategy. I knew exactly what I was doing, why I was doing it and what the overall objective was. Lots of clear communication and collaboration. You think this would be a no brainer for all companies, but this is increasingly rare so it's great to see Netflix embrace communication. - Plenty of parking in the Beverly Hills office. - Catered lunch EVERYDAY.

      Cons

      -Lack of new employee onboarding for your particular role. When you're new, everyone is really busy so there is rarely time for you to sit down with someone and learn the processes for your role that are specific to Netflix. A lot of it is learning on the fly and asking questions as they come up. This is fine if you're a fast learner or have a lot of experience for your role, but for others this can be a very difficult roadblock that can affect campaigns early on and stifle rapport building within teams

      Fast paced, intense environment

      Pros

      -Really smart, motivated, and reliable team members -Great salary -You'll learn a lot from the people you work with -Fantastic product

      Cons

      -Senior management makes decisions without checking in with the SME's within the company. -People get fired much faster without much warning. If you have a good manager, you will be happy to have the people who aren't pulling their weight gone quickly without causing too many problems. -It's hard to leave the office during the day, if needed. There is a big focus on face time.
