      Treated like a GrownUp?

      Pros

      A very nice building in Beverly Hills.

      Cons

      If you interviewed with Netflix and didn't get the job, be happy. Boredom and fear are the only feelings around. You will walk in every single day fearing that it's your last day there, no matter who you are, contractor or full time. It's not worth it. The pressure, the anxiety, the fear. They have been massively hiring and now they are firing, for no reason. Well, from what I have seen it's either because they thought they needed you but they really don't, or because you are about to become too expensive after roughly 2-4 months with health insurance etc..The bottom line is you are not treated like a grown up but just as a tool and management is completely useless.

      An incredible environment that will definitely make you grow as a professional

      Pros

      I have worked for Netflix for 3 years. As most of reviews say, it is incredible to see how open and honest the culture is. The company is still pretty flat for its size, and you can feel your impact on initiatives you work on. Development moves very fast and our cycles are short and iterative. Multiple 6-month long projects in other companies get out the door in a matter of a few weeks. I definitely feel like reviews on Glassdoor do not make justice to the Netflix environment. Yes, there is a lot of work, but I do not feel people get let go all the time, or that anyone would feel scared of being fired without reason. People do not get let go without fair warning. Everyone I know that has been let go so far saw it coming and recognizes it is the best for both them and the company. I find it hard to believe sometimes we have to overcome people's fears in that aspect. And newcomers realize very fast there is a myth and feel great to have joined. In short, it is a remarkable, fair and candid company and I am thrilled to have joined and I plan to go nowhere in the next 5 years.

      Cons

      I agree there is no career plan or defined development, but then again, this translates into a lot of freedom to forge your own path. Plus, people who are hired are usually senior, so I feel there is less of a need for a strict career plan. When you work at Netflix, you are exposed to so much that it is easy to explain why you grow so much in a short period of time.

      My advice - accept job here, get kicked out after half year

      Pros

      Higher than industry average salary.

      Cons

      Read other reviews of former employees. Out of all people that I worked with at the time more than 80% were kicked out. Most of them are bright engineers. My advice - if you are offered a position in Netflix fight for the highest salary possible. In any case expect to be fired soon. Maybe after a year, maybe sooner, maybe later.
