Pros

Learning so much about the industry I want to go in, and being trusted with more tasks when I prove myself.

Cons

Since everyone operates at such a high caliber, it can sometimes feel like you’re defined more by your mistakes than your successes. 1:1’s with management are helpful for constructive criticism if you’re worried about this.

Pros

Working for Netflix was exciting, exhilerating. People take pride in their work and the product the company sells. It's creative and you're not questioned for every $5 that needs to be spent. The focus on work/life balance is amazing.

Cons

For all the talk of relationship building and transparency at the organizational level, peers often do not share information openly. Getting clear answers was often like pulling teeth. It also felt like a cult at times, hearing everybody use the same jargon - whatever the current lingo is that came Reed Hasting's mouth - was a little disturbing.
