Pros

Very smart, talented coworkers Tons of opportunity if you're willing to work for it One of the most open companies I've ever worked for Moves fast, usually makes the right decisions Still a great value despite all that price increase business Willing to admit they've made mistakes and change direction if need be

Cons

On the job 24/7 Occasional whiplash changes in direction for major projects You'll see some really smart, talented people let go from time to time, due to reorgs, etc.

Pros

Free food handed out a lot, casual dress code, lots of people in their 20s that you can relate to.

Cons

Very confusing attendance policy. If you're not a permanent employee yet basically, you miss a day or two, they'll fire you. Very little support from upper management when dealing with customers. Impossible sometimes to get assistance with problems though they advise that you get their help when needed. I was so stressed from continuously being threatened by my supervisor that I might lose my job I couldn't stand it. If you want to have any sort of healthy work environment, don't work here.

Sword of Damocles

Pros

- great physical work environment in Los Gatos - great co workers: highly motivated, intelligent, impressive experiences. Netflix hires people at the peak of their games - at the time (2007-2010), it was an exciting time of growth in the online streaming space, with consistent growth in the DVD space; fun to be on the cutting edge, and high growth. - great compensation; employees are well paid

Cons

- there is a constant sword of damocles (i.e. the threat of removal) hanging over your head. even when you think you are doing well, you can be released unexpectedly, at a moment's notice. (this results in a culture of fear) - there is no career path; Netflix hires you to perform a job, and once that job is over, it's easier for them to let you go rather than retrain or relocate you. - this is not the place to be if you want work/life balance; not family friendly
