Stressful is an understatement

Customer service representative

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, good benefits, awesome co workers

Cons

This is one of the most stressful work environments I have EVER worked at. Seems like no one has worked there longer than a year. Everything is based on your dissatisfied percentage and its impossible to satisfy everyone. ESPECIALLY when it is a dsat about service not rep. To Netflix, its the same damn thing. My supervisor was horrible and they all just sit together and chat all day. Almost seems like arent doing a damn thing.

Good Developers but bad Company Culture

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

As a senior developer, you are working with a group of senior developers, and developers are working together to get things done

Cons

As posted on Internet by Company Management, Netflix DOES NOT treat employee as a member of family, you have to be always prepared that your manager would let you go because: 1. You did a great job and mission is complished, so they don't have to keep you anymore 2. Your manager find a person "better" than you 3. Project did not work out smoothly, developer is likely the one to be blamed.

Pros

flexible vacation policy (days are not tracked) nice office with great technology (free drinks/sodas/snacks) interesting work free subscription work with extremely competent colleagues (high performance culture) great online dot com experience company is well-respected

Cons

no career path, limited opportunities for career advancement (those at the top stay, mid-level to entry-level employees tend to leave after a few years) very competitive work environment (high performance culture) high pressure, high stress (high performance culture) not enough support, work a lot of hours management is (openly) not concerned with morale (if you don't like it, leave) no job security (they are quick to lay off mediocre performers)
