DO NOT WORK FOR NETFLIX

Pros

If you want a free subscription then go for it.

Cons

If there were 25 hours in a day, Netflix would expect you to work all 25. They could care less about you as a person and they DO NOT hold to their core values of honesty and integrity. People are promoted based on political connection rather than real ability. There are no congratulations for a job well done but plenty of abuse when things aren't done to perfection. There are no SOPs for processes and procedures but Regional Managers and Regional Directors will criticize for "not doing it right". It was my worst experience of my professional career.

The most satisfying place to be a rockstar contributor in Silicon Valley. Not a place for anyone else.

Pros

Every role at the company is a chance to directly effect the success of the business. The sense of ownership is big, the challenges are big, and the work is very engaging. In my experience Netflix has an outstanding team of rockstars, a very motivating group to get to be a part of and work with. The culture puts high demands on everyone, and imparts great freedom and ownership in return. Very data driven, customer focused, innovation oriented.

Cons

The company is very focused, and so brand new areas and opportunities come rarely. There are not a lot of "arms and legs" positions, so most roles have both a hands-on and a strategic component to the work. I wouldn't agree with a review that says long hours are expected, but I do think amazing productivity and results are expected. I view this as more good than bad, but it can feel tough to measure up at times. Promotion opportunities are rare but they do happen. Most growth at the company comes as growth in ownership, rather than in title.

Netflix is true to their advertised culture of freedom & responsibility.

Business Outlook

Pros

Lack of politics, hard problems to tackle, extremely bright colleagues, lack of bureaucracy, "context, not control" style of management, no tracking of hours or time off, flexible work options, Netflix is extremely successful as a company, and it's a fun business to be in and win at.

Cons

Always way more to do than people to do the work, but I've never had a job where this wasn't the case. Also, sometimes hard to find the boundaries between family and work life, because there is no tracking of work hours. Many of the folks in my area are highly self-motivated, which fosters a self-imposed culture of working nights and weekends.
