Pros

Netflix pays top of market, the atmosphere is stellar, with lots of free food and swag, many stunning colleagues and several dysfunctional ones, especially in middle management.

Cons

Expect to work 60+ hours a week regularly. Passive management communication styles can sometimes let you know that it is still not enough. So that lowers the hourly rate of their top market pay. The Netflix Culture is far more marketing than reality. It is a sheen under which it's politics as usual. CS seems more dysfunctional and adrift than the rest of the company. Surprisingly mediocre middle management there who use politics and cliques to cling to power. They will tell you everything is great right up to the moment they release you. Keep your head down and trust no one, and you will probably make the five year average for employment period. After which you will realize you have been working with your head in a noose the entire time.

Pros

Overall, great perks. They take care of their employees. You get paid top of market which makes it difficult to consider working anywhere else. Flexibility with your schedule. No set start time or end time. Ease of working from home. Transparency of work being done at every level. You get to have insight on a lot. Ability to give and receive feedback and it's a part of the culture.

Cons

You are always expected to perform highly, they create that environment of uneasiness. You can't be human and have bad days or go through personal issues that sometimes affect you, you know, the ones that happen in real life. You literally eat and breathe Netflix. Work life balance is based on your team culture and your boss. At the end of the day what your boss says, goes. HR doesn't do a great job at managing team energy. They do whatever the boss in that team thinks is right. Which is very anti Netflix culture.

Pros

Free breakfast and lunch every day, lots of free stuff around the office, awesome co-workers- super open environment that encourages curiosity and questioning

Cons

Difficult to move between departments- easy to get stuck as an assistant in a department that doesn't interest you (aka a dead end, no growth)
