Pros

free movies and food. that's it.

Cons

Disrespecting employees, not communicating changes within the company with the front line to customers. No vacation or sick time. Treated like a number.

Pros

Great compensation for those of us that started before Netflix became a household name. Some of the best benefits available; especially vacation time alloted after 90 days. Stock options that really turned into something. Begin able to say you work for Netflix. Everyone knows what it is now!

Cons

LONG hours and hours that never stabilized. Became a machine repair person at the hub; spending most of my time fixing equipment problems at the end. Had all the vacation in the world but almost impossible to get time off approved especially if you wanted to take multiple days in a row off.

Pros

An unbelievable culture of honesty and bright people. Self motivated people can have a great career experience. Netflix is filled with mature adults that are not politically motivated. Netflix management does a pretty good job of setting the proper context for employees and letting them run independently. Employees enjoy a culture of freedom and responsibility that few other companies offer. As an example, we have no vacation policy, you take what you need. If you are excessive or not performing at a great level, you will be called out on it. If you are lucky enough to be offered a job at Netflix, take it, you won’t regret it. You will be exposed to a company culture unlike another you have ever experienced.

Cons

Not a great place to come if you don’t have a fair amount of experience. We are not a great incubation center for people right out of college. Health care and other benefits are not the best. Netflix feels that it pays its employees well and that that will make up for these short comings, not sure if that is 100% true in all cases. There is a fair amount of career advancement available at the lower levels, but it is pretty thin at the upper levels such as director & vice president. Not sure the pat at or above market value for employees is 100% true in all cases.
