Pros

The pay, and the perks, ie. free netflix!

Cons

Terrible management! Very high schoolish. It is not how good you can do your job, its how good you are with your supervisor. Actual comment from a supervisor when asked to come in a couple minutes late for a school exam was "you need to think about what is important to you right now, school or your job." Supervisors are very self absorbed and if you are not all about them then you will be fired and off their team.

Pros

Get health insurance on date of hire, and decent pay Eight free dvd at a time plan Great co-workers Free food Very nice cleaning crew Near easy freeway access Close to many restaurants

Cons

Lack of communication between management and employees and many managers/supervisors who have little or no experience working with other people or managing in a constructive manor. Fear based management style, the sense of loosing your job for lack of staying within the metrics, your supervisor having a bad day, or any other reason they come up with. Manditory overtime with the expectation you will work it or loose your job. NO respect for doctors notes. The large number of people getting walked out on a daily and weekly basis. Seeing co-workers in tears over there job.

Pros

As a senior developer, you are working with a group of senior developers, and developers are working together to get things done

Cons

As posted on Internet by Company Management, Netflix DOES NOT treat employee as a member of family, you have to be always prepared that your manager would let you go because: 1. You did a great job and mission is complished, so they don't have to keep you anymore 2. Your manager find a person "better" than you 3. Project did not work out smoothly, developer is likely the one to be blamed.
