Pros

Some great people there (fellow employee's)

Cons

Every call you get can result in a survey with either a "yes" or "no" if they were satisfied with Netflix. You can get anywhere from 40 to 120 calls a day and the survey feedback was instant, meaning as soon as the caller input their survey you were notified. 2 "No's" could wipe out a whole day of "Yes's" and a lot these callers were incredibly unstable. Anything from people not remembering their password to the website to death threats. You had just 4 minutes to try to make them happy somehow and get them off the line before you got an instant message asking what the problem was. If you had to many "No's" you get fired on the spot. Call time too long? Fired. People came and went so much I didn't want to get to know them well because I knew they'd be out the door shortly. I had an incredible team coach that had a lot of faith in me which allowed me to persist in this enviorment. When the whole "separate dvd shipping and online streaming" failed they fired him and many, many others. I hung around for 9 months before I quit, the pressure to make metrics was savage and it was estimated that only 5% of the employee's would make it to a full year. I could go on with situations where the customer was extremely abusive, said no to the survey and went way way over the 4 minutes I was allowed only to have my job threatened for not meeting metrics but hopefully you get the idea.

Pros

It's like working for a very well funded startup. If you're good, this company will boost your career lightyears ahead. Compensation and perks are just right. No lavish lunches, just good organic food to keep you focused on business. No laundry service. It's not taking over your life. Very fast growing company. Lots of room to grow and lots of opportunity (if you look). Visibility - top down, you see everything. There are no secrets in this company. Very helpful if you know how to use this to your advantage.

Cons

If you're not good, you won't survive here. If you have issues with your people skills, you won't survive here. If you need hand-holding, someone to constantly point you in the right direction, you'll be directed to the door (while holding your hand). You'll have to manage your work/life balance. Some people just don't know what 'unlimited vacation' means.
