Pros

I've been at Netflix for years. When I started it had a pretty unique culture that truly encouraged both excellence and open debate. Now it's just a "fine" place to work. Most of the people are fine, most of the work is fine. The work-life balance is fine, the remote-friendliness is fine.

Cons

Open debate is no longer welcome, and many great people who took too long to figure that out were exited. Most of the "unique Netflix culture" is now purely performative. It's just a job. Career growth basically dies while you're here - there are way too many under-leveled people for any fast pace of promos.

Senior mgmt and first level mgmt encourage you to move out of your comfort zone and grow. - Great culture. Company and HR takes efforts to make sure the culture remains great. - Competitive compensation and benefits - Helpful teams that are ready to help each other for the benefit of the company

Cons

- No formal mentorship program to help individual contributors grow - If you are not cut out for fast paced, learn something new everyday style of work, this is not the place for you
