Pros

If you want a free subscription then go for it.

Cons

If there were 25 hours in a day, Netflix would expect you to work all 25. They could care less about you as a person and they DO NOT hold to their core values of honesty and integrity. People are promoted based on political connection rather than real ability. There are no congratulations for a job well done but plenty of abuse when things aren't done to perfection. There are no SOPs for processes and procedures but Regional Managers and Regional Directors will criticize for "not doing it right". It was my worst experience of my professional career.

Pros

Netflix's top management has a simple and well thought out strategic vision which they communicate well to employees. The company is consistently profitable and salaries tend to be substantially above the market rates.

Cons

Netflix pays well to get the best person for the job. The downsides of this are that often people are overqualified for what they are doing, which can lead to a lack of challenge for them. Worse, Netflix quickly and unceremoniously fires anyone whose skills no longer match the available work, or even whose manager doesn't especially like them. Retraining people for different jobs just doesn't occur. If the immediate work fits your professional goals, Netflix can be a good place to work, but don't plan on a long career there.
