Pros

Unlimited Time Off Company has is very upfront and honest on where you stand/overall performance Decent Pay Not a lot of Micromanagement - You Own it!

Cons

There is a lot of turn over. Feels like if you have been here for more than 2 years, it's a long time. People worry all the time if they are next to get cut. You are given so much work and responsibility it's difficult to take time off.

Pros

Love the concept Movies are cool Netflix has brand recognition

Cons

Upper management team on the Ops side is a joke The shelf life of most employees is short - this seems to be by design (not intelligent design) Performance means nothing - you can be termed just because someone in HR doesn't like your style, or because you refuse to "rule by fear" Reed's purported vision doesn't match up with what is happening internally A major disconnect between the PR about working for the company and what is happening at ground zero If you try to achieve a work/life balance, you will be shut out - not a family-friendly organization Relocation and travel compensation has improved, but will compromise you financially -- yet, they require you to relocate to demonstrate your wilingness to move up -- but they always fire the people who move up so everyone is afraid to take the bait It is an up and out organization - except for the people at the top
