Pros

Great Pay Decent health plan Great amenities Building was well maintained/clean Decent Swag Plenty of parking That's about all for the "pros' and that was a stretch.

Cons

Netflix is an HR driven company. As far as I am concerned they are the "bullies" of Netflix. Nothing is confidential. Be prepared, whatever you discuss with an HR employee will be leaked out to nearly everyone at Netflix. They will take confidential information and turn it into the joke of the day. Senior/Executive HR staff is crass and they seem to think cursing in front of others and telling lewd jokes is appropriate workplace etiquette. No-vacation policy (As far as I am concerned, it is a scam). They work you so hard you feel guilty about taking time off. Between the blackberry they "give" you as soon as you walk through the door, and the laptop you will receive, you are never off the clock. The revolving door in this place will literally make you dizzy. During my time at Netflix I can't even begin to count how many employees were terminated or resigned on a daily basis. Senior management even seemed to be desensitized to the large number of terminations. No job security. You can be doing a fantastic job one day and the next day you are "re-structured" Reed - Do yourself a favor.. Hire senior staff who truly understands the values that you believe in and who want their employees to embrace them. Currently the values are about as clear as mud. If one truly tries to abide by every aspect of what it reads, they will be fired. Wake up buddy, you are smarter that? Aren’t you?

Pros

- No vacation policy - Pay well - Great, unique, and creative stock option plan - The company has steady growth and value even in a crappy economy - The company has and continues to make excellent business decisions in it's market space - No monolithic approval processes - Co-workers are mostly very smart reasonable adults - No college hires (only seasoned professionals) - All salaried employees get cell phones (BlackBerry, iPhone, etc.) - Free underground parking - Free Netflix account

Cons

- No vacation policy - People get let go constantly which makes you wonder whos next... - HR has an unnaturally massive influence in the company and your future (e.g., don't ever get on the bad side of a recruiter or you're toast!). - Health benefits are below average and expensive
