Business Outlook

Pros

- great physical work environment in Los Gatos - great co workers: highly motivated, intelligent, impressive experiences. Netflix hires people at the peak of their games - at the time (2007-2010), it was an exciting time of growth in the online streaming space, with consistent growth in the DVD space; fun to be on the cutting edge, and high growth. - great compensation; employees are well paid

Cons

- there is a constant sword of damocles (i.e. the threat of removal) hanging over your head. even when you think you are doing well, you can be released unexpectedly, at a moment's notice. (this results in a culture of fear) - there is no career path; Netflix hires you to perform a job, and once that job is over, it's easier for them to let you go rather than retrain or relocate you. - this is not the place to be if you want work/life balance; not family friendly
