Pros

Netflix is a great place for highly talented people to work. Time and time again I am impressed by the capability of my colleagues and our ability to work together as a team. The company also has a very clear strategy and is very focused on executing that strategy, which is great because we don't have a lot of ancillary distractions.

Cons

If you are not a high performer, you will not last long at Netflix. The company is not afraid to fire people and it happens on a routine basis.

Pros

You should consider working at Netflix if you like to work with passionate and smart people in an environment almost devoid of politics. At Netflix, many decisions are data-driven. Collecting data to be able to be smart about the business is so ingrained into the culture and so obviously right that, after a while, one is amazed when friends or business partners in other companies tell you that it's not how it works in their world. There is a great sense of mutual respect among the people who work there. Things do change fast, and that can be a bit disconcerting if you don't like the thrill :-). On the other hand, hard, but necessary decisions are made promptly. If you're at a stage of your life where you want or must take it easy for a while, Netflix is not for you. The pace here does not allow for slacking, and you'll either stand out like a sore thumb, or you're pulled into the race.

Cons

You will be spoiled by all the common sense that wafts through the hallways. Netflix is probably not right for you if you're looking for a big title (e.g. "architect"). The organization is very flat, and there are not a lot of traditional career growth opportunities. However, you will grow personally and professionally even if your title stays the same for years.

Pros

Great benefits such as free movies and Sundance/LA festivals and pays really well!

Cons

This place is a cold-hearted environment. Life would be so perfect if you manager likes you, if not you're outta there in a heart beat! You come to work thinking you have a job, but might be escorted by security to leave the place within hours.
