Pros

flexible vacation policy (days are not tracked) nice office with great technology (free drinks/sodas/snacks) interesting work free subscription work with extremely competent colleagues (high performance culture) great online dot com experience company is well-respected

Cons

no career path, limited opportunities for career advancement (those at the top stay, mid-level to entry-level employees tend to leave after a few years) very competitive work environment (high performance culture) high pressure, high stress (high performance culture) not enough support, work a lot of hours management is (openly) not concerned with morale (if you don't like it, leave) no job security (they are quick to lay off mediocre performers)

Pros

An unbelievable culture of honesty and bright people. Self motivated people can have a great career experience. Netflix is filled with mature adults that are not politically motivated. Netflix management does a pretty good job of setting the proper context for employees and letting them run independently. Employees enjoy a culture of freedom and responsibility that few other companies offer. As an example, we have no vacation policy, you take what you need. If you are excessive or not performing at a great level, you will be called out on it. If you are lucky enough to be offered a job at Netflix, take it, you won’t regret it. You will be exposed to a company culture unlike another you have ever experienced.

Cons

Not a great place to come if you don’t have a fair amount of experience. We are not a great incubation center for people right out of college. Health care and other benefits are not the best. Netflix feels that it pays its employees well and that that will make up for these short comings, not sure if that is 100% true in all cases. There is a fair amount of career advancement available at the lower levels, but it is pretty thin at the upper levels such as director & vice president. Not sure the pat at or above market value for employees is 100% true in all cases.
