Pros: High-performing culture Unlimited vacation Pick your time to work Great pay

Cons: High-performing culture If you get a manager that micromanages, it becomes annoying. Too data-driven while sacrificing quality – for a QA professional, that's hard to take.

Pros: Great potential Great total compensation Good work-life balance

Cons: Recently hired top management is bad. Super bad spontaneous decisions made recently. Some teams have toxic culture.

Pros: You're given independence and the ability to do your job how you see fit - some of the time. Most of the time, management runs around like a chicken with their collective head cut off, and priorities constantly change.

Cons: - The salaries are competitive, but not particularly high, despite what their so-called slide deck proclaims. Keep in mind that your stock purchase and "bonus" are included, so $160k at Google is the same as $210k at Netflix. - Constant threats of firing, a culture of fear, and employees throwing each other under the bus to save their own skin. The threats of firing lead to crunch and absurd stress levels. - Employees aren't as intelligent as those at other high-tech firms; they're hired more for their ability to play corporate politics than for technical skill. - To follow on the above, the average stay here seems to be about a year. Understand that Netflix isn't an engineering company, it's an entertainment company, and a fragile streaming infrastructure and clunky front end are built to consume that entertainment. But content is king, not the technology, and it never will be.
