Pros

- Pay / benefits is well - There's a lot of work

Cons

- I didn't find my role to have a lot of scope. - A bit cut throat - I personally thought sending an email when someone gets fired instills fear and lack of empathy towards that individual.

Compensation is top of market

Cons

They don’t follow their own Culture Memo. Inclusion and Diversity only exists at lower levels.

Pros

- Performance culture, so you don't see many people coasting or rest&vesting. - Every IC is the same title so you can be in a room with folks who have been at the company for 10-15 years, or are giants in the industry, and your voice is heard at the same pitch as theirs. - Fantastic engineering culture so, along with outputting good work, you also get to learn the right and wrong way to solve a problem. - Data drives features and everything is A/B tested, so you know why your feature made it out or didn't. - One of the best compensation in the Valley with an unheard of compensation strategy (personal top of market is the most rational way to pay people for their work). - Expense whatever you need to help you do your job better, as long as you're practicing responsibility. - Brand recognition

Cons

- Ecosystem is massive so it's hard to know how to do everything. - Little documentation so it's hard to know how something works adhoc (you have to go to the team and ask questions). - Because everyone is at the same title, growth is horizontal (you will build skills but not climb the ladder). You need to work with your manager to draw a goal plan. - Outside perspective of Netflix culture is that it's "cutthroat"; which is not the right word. It's "lean" - meaning there isn't room for folks to coast. Folks do get let go, but I have yet to see/hear an invalid reasons for them to be let go.
