Pros

You get paid 15% above market rate. I was making 165k in my last company (150k base + 15-20% bonus) in a stress free environment and then one fine day i found an opening at netflix which suited my profile. applied , gave the interview and they offered my 180k total. like a fool i jumped onboard. lost my job after 9 months and now back in the market. and yes those 9 months were no less than delivering a baby.

Cons

just after joining i realized that the guy sitting right next to me was fired few weeks ago. as i spent more time i realized most of the people around me were no more than an yr old. the work was too much but i thought they are paying me more so i worked hard at it. turns out i had 2 slight disagreements with a member in another team and bammm .....i was gone.... the company has a very simple philosophy....if things are not 100% perfect ...fire and hire ......rinse and repeat........ dont make the mistake i made....dont leave your stress free environment for 10-15k etc because you going to end up being fired the moment your performance falls below 100%

Pros

Great Pay. Benefits and perks. Catered Food.

Cons

No proper training. No room for error or else you will get fired culture. Politics. Arrogant Managers. I worked at Netflix for almost 5 years and I've always had great feedback during 360 reviews except for 1 person. That person who was new to the company gave me a bad review last year and that's the reason I lost my job. My manager made that review as a back-up to lay me off and totally lied that I am no longer fit for the job. Feeling betrayed and unjustly fired.

Pros

I wasn't looking to change jobs, Netflix found me and offered me a very generous salary and relocation to leave my employer. I loved my job but it only lasted 4 months after they hired someone from another big company and he wanted to bring in his own team. I was still in corporate housing when they let me go. They said the new manager didn't have chemistry with me but I had only met with him twice and he had only been working there for two weeks before he decided to let me go over said "chemistry". The new guy was very unprofessional and treated me in ways that do not align with the Netflix culture. I talked to the VP that hired me and he said he was very sorry and that I had done nothing wrong and didn't need to change a thing but that he had to support this other guy in his decision. I wish things would've worked out different but I did enjoyed my time while there.

Cons

You can be let go without warning based on very little substance to support it. They have many reasons they can let you go but they never talk about the unjustified reasons. Think twice about relocating for them.
