Pros

They pay about 20% above market. The options and ESPP benefits are better than any other company I have worked for. The management is smart as hell. If you wonder where people from Harvard, MIT, Stanford and Yale work...it's at Netflix. There is unlimited time off...I'll explain that one in a minute. Every employee there is a top achiever, no dead weight, no people you dread because they don't get their work done.

Cons

People get fired right and left. They churn the bottom 25% of the workforce constantly. I e-mailed someone for a month without realizing they had been fired. People never take vacation even though they have the unlimited rule. You are expected to achieve at a level that will burn you out if your not careful. If you slack off prepare to get the boot! I did not get fired, I left on my own will but I found the environment very stressful.

Pros

They hire great, hardworking people and the management is relentless and single focused in enforcing their mission statement and driving success in DVD rental by mail and online. Everyone who works there is of above average intelligence and ability and the jobs can be rewarding and demanding. They really do hire people who are autonomous and can own a process and you can rely on those around you to provide the support you need.

Cons

They do not focus on career development and would prefer to hire someone from the outside to be your boss or replace you rather than groom you to grow into a more senior position. There are a couple of core values that they preach but do not really follow through on. There is a very different culture between the LA office and the HQ which feels inconsistent with their value system.

Pros

Free subscription and the salary was competitive for the industry.

Cons

Horrible hours, the constant policy changes, and lack of respect from management. The nature of the job in itself was bad, as the customer service reps are just there to be yelled at for promises that the marketing deptartment was constantly making with little thought as to how these "features" would actualy be implimented. The other major issue is the lack of written rules or guidelines. The foundation of their customer service is based on the judgement of each customer service rep. The result is that there was no consistancy regarding the resolution of problems that arose. In other words a customer could get one answer from one rep and a completely different answer the next time they call and talk to a different rep. for the same problem.
