A career at Netflix can be rewarding if your coworkers are competent and have a modicum of social skills.

Pros

Starting salaries are above average.

Cons

A career at Netflix can be rewarding and enjoyable, dependent upon whom you work with. Some coworkers, especially those who have been at Netflix for a longer time are difficult to work with due to stubbornness or hubris. These attitudes affect the stability of the Netflix service because engineers often do not follow standard operating procedures resulting in multiple outages. Additionally, some employees make racist and sexist comments and management takes no steps to correct this behavior.

Pros

When discussing ideas, every person in the room is usually more intelligent than me, which is challenging and invigorating, and creates great results. Netflix is willing to move quickly and make calculated risks in pushing the business forward. That makes it an exciting and satisfying place to work. Whether you're in the office or away is rarely noticed or even considered at Netflix. All the matters is the quality and consistency of your work, which gives employees great freedom and allows them to enhance the balance in their lives. At the same time, expectations are tremendous, but that's what makes the company great. For the employees who look for this is in an employer, Netflix delivers.

Cons

Everything is always changing at Netflix, whether it's ideas, or approaches, or personnel, and that can be challenging on a day to day basis. Benefits are challenging for employees with families, and I wish we that was not a consideration for employees with families.

Pros

We are committed, professionals who are passionate about creating a business that changes the entertainment landscape. Employees make a difference, results matter. The business model is relatively simple, but execution is very complex. There are interesting problems to solve for everyone. We aren't afraid to try something new or to stop doing something that doesn't work.

Cons

Management isn't sensitive. The team, noy family metaphore is true. Perks are minimal, but salaries are good. Career pathing is owned by employees, not management.. It's an opt in company, and not for everyone. If you are more comfortable with structure or guidance, this might not be your kind of place.
