Pros
-some phenomenally smart people -great resume builder (if you have the ability to insulate yourself from the cons) -the opportunity for exposure to leading-edge work -great communication about strategic direction of the company and understanding -- everyone know what it as stake -free membership
Cons
-much talk about Netflix 'culture' internally, but few walk the walk. Politics and immaturity are alive and well here, especially at the senior management level despite popular internal belief -people disappear (are fired) daily, and the excuse is often simply 'not a fit'. You never know when your number is up -company programs such as benefits changes, SOP etc., which are meant to be leading edge, simple, and innovative are most often poorly communicated and confusing -unprofessional behavior such as disparaging remarks, put-downs, and talking behind the backs of others, from those who should be modeling the opposite behaviors -limited structure in certain areas where at least some process would be helpful, often feels like throwing darts in the dark and decisions are often emotionally based on not data-driven -speaking up earns you a target on your back
