Pros

They treat you like adults. There is very less politics. If you have the stuff, you will really excel. They pay you well. They have a Steve Jobs-class CEO. They have a fantastic vision- thanks to Reed Hastings. You are bound to have world class colleagues.

Cons

The most touted culture is changing as the company grows.

Empowering place to work - Little bureaucracy for size

Pros

Company culture strives to minimize process in favor of trusting employees and giving them room to run. This results in an organization powered by experienced self-starters who are incredible people to learn from. It provides the maturity of a larger company with talented people, while still enabling considerable creative freedom. (Applies to Los Gatos HQ)

Cons

Coordination can sometimes be weak due to "loosely coupled" culture. It is very easy to get out of sync on goals and expectations with teammates and managers unless one is very vigilant and communicates well. Most managers try to adhere to the culture, but each deviates in their own idiosyncratic way.
