Pros: Pay is amazing, and the kitchen is well stocked.

Cons: Hiring is a joke. There is a culture of fear you will get fired, so everyone tends to hire people who are less talented than they are. So you are starting out with B-level players hiring C-level who hire D-level. And all live in fear they will get canned. The codebase is blogged about and presented very well, but it's a streaming company. Their value is content, and your technology doesn't matter. Rarely do we hire anyone away from a real tech company (Google, Apple, Facebook, etc.). Those who work here want the money and then stay to defend their employment status because they now spend more and change their lifestyle, versus changing their skills by being better engineers.

Pros: The engineers are the smartest, most capable bunch I have worked with in my career.

Cons: The executives have no clue how to run the company. Their success is based on luck, and they are proud to repeat the same mistakes over and over again.

Pros: - Good compensation - Free lunch and snacks - Engineers are smart and competent

Cons: - An atmosphere of fear and uncertainty prevails. - The management can be ruthless, egoistical, and political. - Projects get cancelled, groups consolidated, and employees terminated. - Most managers are stressed out all the time and encouraged to weed out employees no longer useful or not performing to "high standards".
