Pros

Liberal time off policy...oh wait, you're so overworked, you don't have time to take advantage of it. Casual dress code.

Cons

Horrible communication from upper management, and they are fully aware of this. Lack of growth potential. In fact, many employees are told during the interview process that they are expected to leave within a few years as there is no where for them to go. Understaffed and overworked, but this is excused by being referred to as a part of the 'internet culture'.

Pros

Netflix's top management has a simple and well thought out strategic vision which they communicate well to employees. The company is consistently profitable and salaries tend to be substantially above the market rates.

Cons

Netflix pays well to get the best person for the job. The downsides of this are that often people are overqualified for what they are doing, which can lead to a lack of challenge for them. Worse, Netflix quickly and unceremoniously fires anyone whose skills no longer match the available work, or even whose manager doesn't especially like them. Retraining people for different jobs just doesn't occur. If the immediate work fits your professional goals, Netflix can be a good place to work, but don't plan on a long career there.
