Culture of Fear

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is amazing, and kitchen is well stocked.

Cons

Hiring is a joke. There is a culture of fear you will get fired, so everyone tends to hire people who are less talented then they are. So you are starting out with B level players hire C who hire D. And all live in fear they will get canned. The code base is blogged about and presented very well, but it's a streaming company. Their value is content and your technology doesn't matter. Rarely do/did we hire anyone away from a real tech company (Google, Apple, Facebook, etc). Those who work here want the money, and then stay to defend their employment status b/c they now spend more and change their lifestyle, versus change their skills by being better engineers.

Pros

The people are the reason I joined Netflix and continue to enjoy my job every day. The culture is true when it says Netflix hires stunning colleagues. I am empowered to make decisions without manager approval. Unlike other companies I have worked for, Netflix trusts that the employees are using good judgement to make the best decisions for the company. (No hiring committee or CEO approval to hire) Your job is as big as you make it. If you see an opportunity for impact you don't need to ask permission, make it happen.

Cons

It takes time find and hire stunning colleagues so roles often go unfilled for longer than desired

Pros

Fast pace, much change, always trying to do better. Lots of opportunity if you work hard and are willing to reinvent yourself.

Cons

Long days. Lots of turnover. Most decisions made by upper management. Not focused on team building. The bottom line is the bottom line.
