Pros

At Netflix, I'm treated like an adult. Nobody micromanages me, and I have the freedom to do my job the way I want. I partner directly with the engineering teams I support and fully understand their hiring needs, as opposed to messaging any and all engineers with the aim of throwing them blindly into a bucket for distribution.

Cons

Feedback is real and real-time, so this isn't the place for you if you take things personally or don't internalize feedback well.

Pros

The freedom & responsibility culture is real. It is nice to go to battle alongside fully-formed adults who are the best at what they do. The product is amazing and incredibly fun to market. Reed is an incredible leader….focused and effective.

Cons

While one of the plus sides of the debate culture is gathering multiple perspectives on your work, the downside is that you can get slowed down by the need to accommodate a myriad of stakeholders. Marketing leadership also hasn't quite found the right balance of art and science. While Netflix has become an entertainment brand, it should be careful to not set up an organization that acts/looks/feels exactly like a Hollywood company. If you are not in L.A. and/or working on creative, it has become increasingly difficult to feel like you are truly part of the Netflix marketing organization.

Pros

+Top of the line pay +Great benefits package +Free catered meals+snacks (vending machines here dispense electronics!) +Lots of free swag and of course a free account +"Freedom and responsibility" +Once you move on from Netflix, it's very easy to get a job anywhere else once you have Netflix on YOUR resume.

Cons

Amount of office politics and favoritism is downright ridiculous. They encourage "transparency" but the moment you speak out too much or to the wrong person, you automatically have a bullseye on you. Yes, people are often let go all the time with very little context or insight. Netflix culture stresses "stunning colleagues" but in reality, it's a very superficial environment where people who suck up to the right people or "SAY YES" types are the only ones who do well. Oh and despite being a "fast moving" company, there's little room for internal growth. What you get hired in as will most likely be your one and only position with the company.
