Pros

Netflix is a household name and is loved by its customers. From a professional standpoint, it is a company that encourages high performance, autonomy and effectiveness. Every employee at Netflix puts the company before himself/herself and is encouraged to voice his or her opinion. Our CEO, Reed Hastings, happens to be one of the most brilliant and innovative leaders of the industry and he always has an open door policy to his employees.

Cons

It is extremely focused on the culture of its people. This is not exactly a downside but to certain individuals who are used to a structured corporate environment, this may not be the right place for them.

Pros

When discussing ideas, every person in the room is usually more intelligent than me, which is challenging and invigorating, and creates great results. Netflix is willing to move quickly and make calculated risks in pushing the business forward. That makes it an exciting and satisfying place to work. Whether you're in the office or away is rarely noticed or even considered at Netflix. All the matters is the quality and consistency of your work, which gives employees great freedom and allows them to enhance the balance in their lives. At the same time, expectations are tremendous, but that's what makes the company great. For the employees who look for this is in an employer, Netflix delivers.

Cons

Everything is always changing at Netflix, whether it's ideas, or approaches, or personnel, and that can be challenging on a day to day basis. Benefits are challenging for employees with families, and I wish we that was not a consideration for employees with families.

Pros

Company run by capable founder/CEO with clear and executable vision for transforming the entertainment content market. Progressive company culture.

Cons

It doesn't have the fancy cafeterias, gym facilities and holiday parties of some bigger companies. So if that's important to you, look elsewhere :-).
