Netflix reviews

All of my cons are due to the nature of the job, and not Netflix itself. Customers often get frustrated when calling tech support and they take it out on who they are talking you. I've done it myself. I almost lost my voice a couple of times from talking so much, but I didn't meet anyone else with that problem. Most of the employees also worked evenings, weekends or both because those are the high-call-volume times. I personally worked swing shift Wed. though Sun.

- freedom and responsbility is their mantra when you're hired, but it is not practiced by new managers. - people get fired all the time for disagreeing or questioning management on anything. - On some teams(mine, not all) there was no collaboration in design between managers and programmers. The managers designed it and the only freedom the programmers had was to develop it exactly in that manner. If you disagreed with the design, you guessed it: your fired. - even star performers routinely get the axe. Others remaining are understandably nervous about their jobs. - so called stock plan makes no sense at all. Only plan I've ever heard of where an employee has to risk his own money to participate. - benefits are awful if you have a family. It cost me $800/month to have medical and dental for the family of 4. If your single, your completely covered. - no vacation paid when you leave. This is also a plus in a way though. Netflix does not track vacation time at all. If you take too much though, you will get fired without warning.
