Pros

I wanted to put in my two cents because, unlike the other reviewers, I had a mostly positive experience working at Netflix. I was hired as a temporary worker during the summer and only left to go back to school. The initial training was very good and it was easy to get help when needed on an ongoing basis. I got regular, useful, feedback from my manager and my coworkers were also very helpful. The pay was very good (as a temporary employee I made $13 an hour, and permanent employees get $14 min). The benefits as a temp. employee were also very good.

Cons

All of my cons are due to the nature of the job, and not Netflix itself. Customers often get frustrated when calling tech support and they take it out on who they are talking you. I've done it myself. I almost lost my voice a couple of times from talking so much, but I didn't meet anyone else with that problem. Most of the employees also worked evenings, weekends or both because those are the high-call-volume times. I personally worked swing shift Wed. though Sun.

Pros

Insurance is good, if you do not have a family. If you insure your whole family, it eats up half of your paycheck.

Cons

Worst cases of CYA I have ever seen. Upper managers take credit for your ideas. You are told one thing, then something entirely different happens. Communication is a joke. They like to promote so called "values" however, these values are simply words on the wall.It is not worth working 75-80 hours a week, and to be expected to be on call 24/7/365. Your family will be pushed aside, your health, and don't expect to be able to have a social life outside the company.
