      Getting worse as Netflix grows

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * Salary * Perks (transportation / lunch / swag / celebrations) * Business is great, customers are happy * Internal tools are generally quite good

      Cons

      * Too much coordination required to get anything accomplished / too much coupling between systems (in contrast to stated culture) * Poor engineering practices on most teams and very difficult to get teams to move to newer technology * As company has grown, managers have taken a more active role, to the detriment of the code and architecture * No leadership/seniority path for engineers - which also implies all engineers believe that they are special snowflakes. This makes it hard to push for big changes. * Engineering talent is decreasing over time.

      Inspiring company, but culture is changing

      Pros

      Pay is great and the company / leadership are inspiring. You'll likely have fun every single day. From HR to finance to marketing, everyone is on top of their game at a way I've never seen in other companies

      Cons

      While the Silicon Valley culture seems true to form, the Los Angeles office culture is falling apart, and while everyone is whispering about it, no one is surfacing the problem. It's becoming a traditional Hollywood institution quickly, and I found it extremely disappointing. Here's a few issues that seem to be common: 1) Little room for employees to grow beyond their current roles and swimlanes. 2) The power distance between junior and senior employees in Hollywood functions has rapidly grown 3) Content teams are constantly at war with themselves and other functions 4) Title deflation is real
