Business Outlook

Pros

Netflix is a strong well run company. Netflix pays well. Netflix is in a high-value service industry, not affected by the rapid commoditization of tech. Netflix business is immune to low-quality, low-cost offshore knock-offs. Netflix hires seasoned developers, and pays for the experience, unlike certain other companies (that might be in the search business) that only hire cheap junior engineers. Netflix understands that employees have a life unlike certain other companies (that might be in the search business).

Cons

The "average performance gets you a generous severance package" policy is a little ambiguous, and tends to leave one a bit paranoid (this can a good thing). Reluctance to hire promising junior engineers.

Pros

Freedom and responsibility; and the company does not sweat the small stuff. The company is forward thinking. The salary ranges are at the top of the market scale. There is a no leave policy meaning that what vacation you want as long as your work is complete. Generally most department become amazed at the accomplishments of the other departments work. The CEO is inspirational when he speaks and his actions are those of a true leader.

Cons
